Reggae Blues
© 1985 Thomas HemenwayI woke up in the morning could not open up my eyes.
The sun was shining brightly blinding me to my surprise.
I tossed and turned the whole night through and could not sleep at all.
The dreams I had they came and went, of kingdoms great and small.
Us mortal men can't hold a light to Ja's almightly love.
He keeps it there within us all and in His heav'n above.
Can't seem to get up in the morning,
don't want to open up my eyes,
can't stand to look at Ja's sun rising,
oh my Ja I've got the reggae blues.
Nothing to gain, nothing to lose,
what would you do, if you were in my shoes.
Nothing to gain, nothing to lose,
oh my Ja I've got the Reggae Blues
