The Morning of Our Lives - Jonathan Richman, The Modern Lovers

It hurts me to hear, to see you got no faith in yourself

It bothers me now to watch you, you got no faith in your own self

You listen more to your friends than to your own heart inside

Well, you listen to them, oh but you hide

You don’t got nothin' to be afraid of

You’re not as bad as you think

And you’re always puttin' yourself down

But I’m just gonna tell you that I like you

Darling, you always put yourself down, but I like you

That’s all I came to say

Then there’s no need to think that other people can do things better than you

can do 'em

Cause you got the same power in you

I got faith in you.

Sometimes you don’t have it in yourself

But I got faith in you

And our time is right now, now we can do anything we really want to

Our time is now, here in the morning of our lives

And it ain’t just me who thinks so, dear, I asked my friends

Now, Leroy and Asa and D. Sharpe

Tell her not to be afraid

Tell her it’s okay

Tell her it’s all right

And our time is now, we can do anything we really believe in

Our time is now, here in the morning of our lives

Dear, I asked Leroy and Asa and D. Sharpe, and they said

Don’t you love her too?

Then tell her she’s okay

Tell her she’s all right

You’re okay, dear.

There’s nothing to feel inferior about.

You can do it

And our time is now, we can do anything you really believe in

I know it

Our time is now, here in the morning of our lives

Our time is right now, you can do anything you set your heart on

Our time is now, here in the morning of our lives

We’re young now.

Right now’s when we can enjoy it

Now’s the time for us to have faith in what we can do

No need to fear, cause now’s the time to have faith in what we can do
