Lyrics I Think I'll Call It Morning - Gil Scott-Heron

I Think I'll Call It Morning

I’m gonna take myself a piece of sunshine
And paint it all over my sky, yeah
Be no rain, be no rain
I’m gonna take the song from every bird
And make ‘em sing it just for me, yeah
Bird’s got something to teach us all about being free, yeah
Be no rain, be no rain
And I think I’ll call it morning from now on
Why should I survive on sadness?
And tell myself I’ve got to be alone?
Why should I subscribe to this world’s madness?
Knowing that I’ve got to live on
Knowing that I’ve got to live on
Knowing that I’ve got to live on
Yeah, I think I’ll call it morning from now on
I’m gonna take myself a piece of sunshine
And paint it all over my sky, yeah
Be no rain, be no rain
I’m gonna take the song from every bird
And make them sing it just for me, yeah
‘Cause why should I hang my head?
Why should I let tears fall from my eyes?
When I’ve seen everything there is to see?
And I know that there ain’t no sense in crying
I know there ain’t no sense in crying
Yeah, I think I’ll call it morning from now on
Yeah, I’ll call it morning from now on, yeah
‘Cause there ain’t gonna be no rain, be no rain
Be no rain, be no rain from now on, yeah
