Wave away my yesterday, 'cause I'm leaving it behind me
Hello sunshine, come what may, I feel something new inside me
I hear the birds singing, now my alarm's ringing
Get up, get up, hey
(It's a good morning) Wake up to a brand new day
(This morning) I'm stepping, stepping, stepping on my way
(Good morning) You give me strength, You give me just what I need
And I can feel the hope that's rising in me (It's a good morning)
Slow down, breathe in, don't move ahead
I'm just living in this moment
I've got my arms raised, un-phased, jump out of bed
Gotta get this party going
I went to bed dreaming
You woke me up singing
Get up, get up, hey
'Cause it's a (Good morning) Wake up to a brand new day
(This morning) I'm stepping, stepping, stepping on my way
(Good morning) You give me strength, You give me just what I need
And I can feel the hope that's rising in me (It's a good morning)
(Good morning)
Now I'm smiling and I'm kissing all my worries goodbye
Got the feeling if I spread my wings I might even fly
You are my truth, my way
Give me the strength to say
Get up, get up, get up
Ooh 'cause it's a good morning
Woo-oo
Oh yeah
Mr. Mac to the mic
Hey, top of the morning to you Disa
You smoothie, me ice cold pizza
Cafe au lait, latte dah
You do the zumba, but I do not
Give me like half a marathon
I'll give you the gospel of St. John
Hits me like a wake-up bomb
'Cause we both know that His mercy flows in the morning
Wake up to a brand new day
(This morning) I'm stepping, stepping, stepping on my way
(Good morning) You give me strength, You give me just what I need
And I can feel the hope that's rising in me (It's a good morning)
Wake up to a brand new day
(This morning) I'm stepping, stepping, stepping on my way
(Good morning) You give me strength, You give me just what I need
And I can feel the hope that's rising in me (It's a good morning)
Top of the morning to you Disa
Hey, top of the morning to you girl
Ti-ti-tip-top of the morning to you Disa
Morning little Miss Sunshine
Man, you morning people
(Ha!) No I'm serious
About This Song
"Good Morning" is a triumphant anthem of spiritual and emotional renewal that transforms the simple act of waking up into a powerful metaphor for personal rebirth. The song captures the profound moment when someone emerges from a period of darkness-whether depression, grief, or spiritual emptiness-and experiences genuine hope for the first time in what feels like forever. Mandisa's soaring vocals convey both vulnerability and strength as she describes literally and figuratively "waving away yesterday," suggesting a deliberate choice to leave pain behind and embrace divine grace. The production blends contemporary R&B with gospel influences, featuring uplifting harmonies and a rhythmic pulse that mirrors the energy of someone who has rediscovered their purpose and joy. What makes the song particularly resonant is how it acknowledges the struggle without dwelling in it-the lyrics suggest this isn't naive optimism but hard-won peace after a battle. The repeated phrase "good morning" becomes both a greeting to the day and a declaration of spiritual awakening, with the "sunshine" representing both literal dawn and metaphorical divine light breaking through personal darkness. For many listeners dealing with depression, loss, or spiritual crisis, the song became an anthem of possibility, proving that healing and hope can arrive as naturally and inevitably as morning itself. Mandisa's authentic delivery, rooted in her own experiences with struggle and faith, gives the optimistic message genuine weight rather than superficial cheerfulness.
