  • Sometimes I wake up in the morning
    To red, blue, and yellow skies
    It's so crazy I could drink it like tequila sunrise
    Put on that Hotel California
    Dance around like I'm insane
    I feel free when I see no one
    And nobody knows my name

    God knows I live
    God knows I died
    God knows I begged
    Begged, borrowed and cried
    God knows I loved
    God know I lied
    God knows I lost
    God gave me life
    And God knows I tried
    God knows I tried
    God knows I tried
    God knows I tried

    Sometimes I wake up in the morning
    To red, blue and yellow lights
    On Monday they destroyed me
    But by Friday I'm revived
    Put on that hotel California
    Wear my blinders in the rain
    I've got nothing much to live for
    Ever since I found my fame

    God knows I live
    God knows I died
    God knows I loved
    God know I lied
    God knows I begged
    Begged, borrowed and cried
    God knows I lost
    God gave me life
    God knows I tried
    God knows I tried
    God knows I tried
    God knows I tried

    So let there be light
    Let there be light
    Light up my life
    Light up my life
    Let there be light
    Let there be light
    Light up my life
    Light up my life
    God knows I tried
    God knows I tried
    God knows I tried
    God knows I tried
    God knows I tried
    God knows I tried
    God knows I tried
    God knows I tried Writer/s: ELIZABETH GRANT, RICK NOWELS
