Each morning before the sun comes shining
(Comes shining, comes shining)
I pray Jah Love to keep me strong
To keep me far away from the wicked
And let me live clean and strong
Just let me live with my fellowman
Father oh my Father
Lift up my head and let me stand

Show me the way the truth and light
And let my days be long
And let my days be long

And let my days be long
And let my days be long
King, King of Kings
Lift up my head and let me move along

Show me the way, the truth and the light
And let my days be long
And let my days be long

Father I beg, I beg for light (I beg I beg)
You've got to give me light (let my days be long)
I beg, I beg, I beg (I beg I beg)
I ask, I ask, I ask (let my days be long)
Oh light
