It’s five o’clock in the morning,
coffee's already made.
It's gonna be warm in the valley
90 degrees in the shade.
The sunlight's creepin' in right through my window pane.
The coffee gets me going
so I can fight the world again.

It’s a daily ritual that passes
as I reach out for my glasses
and scan the front page headlines
for news that offends.
The world has so many problems,
we don’t seem to address.
If I had all the answers,
I would fix them all by myself.

You nurture my soul with peace and hope.
You keep my body whole
as we travel this long, long road.

Have you heard what they’ve done up at the mines ?
They’ve scarred the mountainside.
And driven away the elk and dear,
I’m afraid we’re next in line.

But I have you and that’s all that matters.
My haven in the storm,
a calm in troubled waters,
a home to keep us safe and warm.

Tonight when I get home
we'll dine under the stars.
I’ll say how much I love you
and how wonderful you are.
