Morning Anthem

Good morning, beautiful. Before that coffee gets cold,

There’s something

I need you to

know… DJ Wizz.

Some days you feel like you’re doing it wrong,

Everybody needs you, you’ve been up since dawn.

Cold cup of coffee,

school clothes on the chair,

Trying to find a minute,

but the minute ain’t there.

Then a little voice calls from across the room,

“Mommy, come look!” and they’re reaching for you.

You see what’s unfinished,

they see who showed up,

You’re counting your mistakes,

they’re counting on your hugs.

No book came with ’em,

no map for the road,

Still you found the strength for a brand-new load.

Faced a kind of fear you had never known,

Now a piece of your heart walks around on its own.

Good morning, beautiful, lift your head,

Don’t let a hard day make you forget.

There’s a little somebody who’s proud to say,

“That’s my mama,” every single day.

Sip that coffee, let the sunlight through,

Baby, I see all the good you do.

Before the whole world starts calling your name,

Let me love on you and tell you again.

(yeah, listen)

A mother’s love stays long after we grow,

In the way we give,

in the care we show.

In a voice we remember when the road gets rough,

Saying, “Take your time,

baby, don’t give up.” And I see that love in the things

you do,

Even when you’re tired,

something carries you through.

But you need care,

too—come sit by my side,

You don’t have to keep every worry inside.

Let me warm your coffee,

let me hear your day,

You ain’t gotta smile if you don’t feel that way.

I love your laugh,

but I’m here for the tears,

For the quiet little doubts nobody else hears.

Good morning, beautiful, lift your head,

Don’t let a hard day make you forget.

There’s a little somebody who’s proud to say,

“That’s my mama,” every single day.

Sip that coffee, let the sunlight through,

Baby, I see all the good you do.

Before the whole world starts calling your name,

Let me love on you and tell you again.

I think about the mornings we’ve shared,

Talking ’bout nothing, just happy you’re there.

Your hand round the cup,

your feet touching mine,

Wish we could slow down the hands of time.

You’re my girlfriend,

my favorite hello, Still finding new reasons to let my love show.

So here’s one more,

before you walk away: You make ordinary moments the best of my

day.

To your babies, you’re home.

To me,

you’re the woman I love.

Take a breath, beautiful…

Good morning.
