A letra:

Misty mornin'
Don't see no sun
I know you're out there somewhere
Having fun
There is one mystery (yeah)
I just can't express
To give your more
To receive your less

One of my good friends said
In a reggae riddim
Can't jump in the water below ya if you can't swim
The power of philosophy (yeah)
Floats through my head
Light like a feather
Heavy as lead

Light like a feather
Heavy as lead (yeah)
See no sun (oh)
Time has come, I want you

I want you to straighten out my tomorrow (uh)
I want, I want, I want you (tomorrow)
(Oh, woah)
I want you to straighten out my tomorrow

Misty (morning) mornin'
Don't see no sun
I know you're out there somewhere
Having fun
Mysteries I just can't express
How can you ever give your more to receive your less?

Like my good friend said
In a reggae riddim
Can't run, can't jump in the water, if you can't swim

I want you (I want you) I want you to straighten out my today
My tomorrow, my, my, my, my, my
(I want you to straighten out my tomorrow)
On a misty morning (uh)

Straighten out my tomorrow, my tomorrow
Need some straightenin' out
(I want you to straighten out my tomorrow)

Straighten out my tomorrow (I want you to straighten out my tomorrow)
Straighten, straighten out, straighten out (I want you to straighten out my tomorrow)
On a, on a misty mist, mist (I want you to straighten out my tomorrow)
Misty morning, oh on a misty (I want you to straighten out my tomorrow)
