Woke Up This Morning (Chosen One)

I'm gonna take you down

Deep down to the frontline

(Deep down)

You woke up this mornin'

got yourself a gun

Your mama always said you'd be the chosen one

She said

“You're one in a million

you got to burn to shine”

But you were born under a bad sign with blue moon in your eyes

When you woke up this mornin' and all that love had gone

Your papa never told you about right and wrong

Hey but you're

but you're lookin' good

I believe that you're feelin' fine

Born under a bad sign with blue moon in your eyes

Mister D. Wayne Love

When you woke up this mornin' everythin' was gone

By half past ten your head was goin' ding-dong

Ringin' like a bell from your head down to your toes

Like some voice tryna tell ya there's somethin' you should know

Last night you was flyin' but today you're so low

Ain't it times like these makes you wonder if you'll ever know

The meanin' of things as they appear to the others

Wives

husbands

mothers

fathers

sisters and brothers

Don't you wish you didn't function?

Don't you wish you didn't think

Beyond the next pay check and the next little drink?

Well

so make up your mind to go on

'Cause when you woke up this mornin'

everythin' you had was gone

Woke up this mornin'
