Morningside
John Gorka

Am I a fool at this late date…
To heed a voice that says you can be/do great
I heard it young, now I hear it again
It says you can be/do better than you’ve ever been

Don’t want to waste what I have to give
In all of the time that I have left to live
Don’t want to waste what I have to give
In any of the time that I have got left
I can do more than I thought I could
“Work” brings more luck than knocking on wood
There’s random bad and random good
“Work” brings more good luck

You ask the world … And the world says no
It’s the world’s refrain … Mine says “go!”
You ask the world … And the world says no
It’s an old world refrain … Mine says “go!”

Better be off … I’ve got dreams to dream
Though it seems uphill and a little extreme
If I can find hope in this fading light
Then I’ll find “it” on the “morningside”
