Well, it's early in the morn, in the morning, baby
Baby, when I rise, Lordy mama
Well, it's early in the morning, in the morning
Well, it's early in the morning, in the morning
Baby, when I rise, Lordy baby
Every day, I've got misery, Berta
Right in my right side, well
Breathe in the whiffs, the scents of the Orient
Beneath the steam, incense smoke
Burns your lungs in intoxicating stupors
Smell the flowers, their heartbreaking perfumes
Leave far behind the city's rumor
If your life is mapped out, swerve
Take unsure roads, find new suns
Slip on wind soles, become a thief of fire
Defy God like a madman, surface far from the crowds
Hone strengths and weaknesses, turn your life into a poem
Be a hurricane among rebels, houngan
Emperor of brigands, Mackandal, Bois-Caïman
Write tales or crash into reefs
A blank page is still virgin to host your heresies
Read between lives, write life between the lines
Flee the drab city's boredom if your heart's breaking too
Well-a, Lordy, Lordy Rosie
Well-a, Lordy, Lordy baby
Well-a, Lordy, Lordy sugar
Well, it's, Lord, Gal, well-a
Well rocks'n gravel make-a
Make a solid road, Lordy sugar
You take the rocks and the gravel and make a
One day, one day, one day I'm off, hasta la vista
I ain't staying put, I'm not waiting for the visa
I'm gonna roam the space, not stay rooted here
Waiting till I kick off and head to the beyond
Die under the stars, not in tiny sheets
I'm gonna lift mountains with my little arms
Cross countrysides, hamlets, rat holes
Escape this prison camp, find meaning in all this
I'm gonna relight the flame, restart the fight
Sharpen my blade to dive back inside myself
A ghost struts around in his anonymity
Dreams of a land of plenty where they'd wait for me there
'Cause in the city I die swimming in eyes
Transparent gazes that slowly drown me
The zone is contempt, the wave is indifference
The crowd's a zombie, and I sail against the flow
Make a solid road, Lordy sugar
You take the rocks and the gravel and make a
Hear the sound of waves when they cling to solid ground
Cultivate silence, all is calm, nothing interferes anymore
Seek the light, maybe one day find clarity
In us the world's end, make your heart an island to people
Open wide clear eyes by vast emerald lakes
Let yourself be moved early morning when dawn sprouts
In the first hours of the day everything's possible
If we want to start again from scratch, redefine the rules of the game
Break the chains, crack the slab
Invent the moon so everybody sees it
Become night wind, push the sail
And run off toward shores over there
