From:
Misty morninī, donīt see no sun;
I know youīre out there somewhere having fun.
There is one mystery - yea-ea-eah - I just canīt express:
To give your more, to receive your less.
One of my good friend said, in a reggae riddim,
"Donīt jump in the water, if you canīt swim."
The power of philosophy - yea-ea-eah - floats through my head
Light like a feather, heavy as lead;
Light like a feather, heavy as lead, yeah.
See no sun! Oh.
Time has come, I want you -
I want you to straighten out my tomorrow! Uh.
I want - I want - I want you - (tomorrow).
Oh, wo-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!
I want you to straighten out my (tomorrow)!
Misty (morning) morninī, donīt see no sun;
I know youīre out there somewhere having fun.
Mysteries I just canīt express:
How can you ever give your more to receive your less?
Like my good friend said, in a reggae riddim:
"You canīt jump - you canīt jump in the water, if you canīt swim."
I want you (I want you) - I want you to straighten out my today -
My tomorrow - my-my-my - my - my
(I want you to straighten out my tomorrow).
On a misty morning, uh! (I want you to straighten out my tomorrow).
Oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh!
(I want you to straighten out my tomorrow)
Straighten out my tomorrow - my tomorrow! Need some straighteninī out!
(I want you to straighten out my tomorrow)
Mist! Mm. (I want) Mist! (you to straighten out my tomorrow)
Misty! Oh! (I want you to straighten out my tomorrow)
