Well, it's early in the morning
I lie awake and watch you sleep
There is no time for mourning
Or no gentle weep
There's only getting up
And let the day unfold
There's only rising up
And let the story be told
But I hope in my next life
I'll get rid of the rack
And I hope in my next life
I'll get it off my back
Get it off my back
Get it off my back
Get it off my back
Well, now baby, there's no leaving
There is no taking care
It's yourself you're deceiving
In the end, there's nothing you can bear
There's only getting up
And let the day unfold
There's only rising up
Let the story be told
But I hope in my next life
I'll get rid of the rack
But I hope in my next life
I'll get it off my back
Get it off my back
Get it off my back
Get it off my back
Baby, time is a hell of a bitch
And losing time, there's no way you can stitch the wounds
Well, it's late in the evening
It's quiet as hell
There is no people shouting
No ringing on a doorbell
Just sitting in front of a fire slowly burning out
There's no people singing, no music up loud
On this road, there is no round
All because of you baby I am proud
There's only getting up
And let the day unfold
There's only rising up
Let the story be told
There's only getting up
And let the day unfold
There's only rising up
Let the story be told
But I hope in my next life
I'll get rid of the rack
And I hope in my next life
I'll get it off my back
Get it off my back (yeah, will get it off)
Get it off my back
Get it off my back (will I get it off?)
Get it off my back
Get it off my back
Get it off my back
Get it off my back
