  • Morning sunshine, praise the earth
    Fill your glass with wine and dirt
    I don't mind, I'm the big tree
    I don't mind, I'm the blue sea

    Paper castles, filled with words
    Limbo policemen please the herd
    I don't mind, I'm the big tree
    I don't mind, I'm the blue sea

    I'm sun, I'm warm, I'm child of the moon
    Even when it's dark, I'll send the dune
    Can't you hear there's fishermen laughing
    The whale dips down, I hear him crying for me
    I'm shade, I'm good, I'm beams in June
    Even when it's dark, I'll light your room
    Don't you know the clown has feelings
    Talking revolution, secret meetings, who's free
    Who's free, free

    Morning sunshine, praise the earth
    Fill your glass with blood and dirt
    I don't mind, I'm the big tree
    I don't mind, I'm the blue sea
