When my Morning Comes

Someday we all have to go south, meet our maker, bite the dust, or be drawn up to Jesus.  The Commander and Lord Kadizzle always kid each other on the trail when we take pictures.  Kadizzle always instructs The Commander " Get a picture for the funeral album" .   In addition to pictures for a good funeral you need some good music.

In his mind Kadizzle is always picking out funeral music.  A recent find is Iris Dement's song " When my Morning Comes".    The Commander speculates she is singing about conquering a drug problem, but Kadizzle thinks the words are about moving on to the next world.  Here are the lyrics.  Find the song on the internet and enjoy it.

When my mornin' comes around, no one else will be there
so I won't have to worry about what I'm supposed to say
and I alone will know that I climbed that great big mountain
and that's all that will matter when my mornin' comes around

When my mornin' comes around, I will look back on this valley
at these sidewalks and alleys where I lingered for so long
and this place where I now live will burn to ash and cinder
like some ghost I won't remember
When my mornin' comes around

When my mornin' comes around, from a new cup I'll be drinking
and for once I won't be thinking that there's something wrong with me
and I'll wake up and find that my faults have been forgiven
and that's when I'll start living

When my mornin' comes around
