"Good Morning Sun"
(I'm Afraid in Your World)

by John A. Tuttle (circa 1968)






I'm afraid in Your world, when darkness surrounds me.
For all that I need, is found in my shadow.
I thought I was so lost. My head was to the ground.
Then I turned lightly, and He was in town.

(Chorus)
Good morning Sun, it's good to see You shining.
You'll cover the streets, with people smiling.

But I don't care to go. So don't try and make me.
I won't stand in your way. But please let me pass by.
The darkened image of You I had is all but gone now.
Oh how can I be sad.

(Chorus)
Good morning Sun, it's good to see You shining.
You'll cover the streets, with people smiling.

Good morning Sun,
Good morning Sun,
Good morning Sun, please come tomorrow.
