lyrics

It's been said for some
Life opens like a flower
But Joe gathered quick it's a fight
And there's nobody in his corner

But in those coldest lonely nights
He's learned there're things he's got to do
Life will bring its troubles
And nobody's gonna save you

The morning comes
And in the dawn just one
In the dawn just one
But the earth turns to the sun

He's become a big man around here
But a whole lot's going unchecked
They all had their hopes pinned on him
But now a whole lot just gets wrecked

Behind those actions and that talk
Really what motivations
Looking at you I can't help but ask
Where are you coming from

The morning comes
And in the day all one
In the day all one
But the earth turns from the sun

They started out in a blaze of passion
But now the flames are burning low
She feels so torn part inside
Don't know if she should go

He can drive her mad
Sometimes just being there
And she wonders, she really wonders
Would it be like this everywhere

The morning comes
And in the day all one
In the day all one
But the earth turns from the sun

He's a quiet man
But one day he said "no"
A quiet gentle man
withstanding all that they could throw

He went against the times
And there came a fearsome tide
But he kept on standing firm
Knowing calm answers inside

The morning comes
And in the dawn just one
In the dawn just one
but the earth turns to the sun
