Yeah yeah oh yeah yeah oh yeah When I see your face like the morning sun you spark to shine Tell all the world my need is fulfilled and that's a new design Oh as long as you're near there is no fear of a victory But when I'm away influences stray my mind to disagree Ah wanna see your face in the morning sun ignite my energy The cause and effect of you has brought new meaning in my life to me Gonna tell the story morning glory all about the serpentine fire Gonna tell the story morning glory all about the serpentine fire Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah, oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah I need to see your face in the morning sun ignite my energy The cause and effect of you has brought new meaning in my life to me The moment I find when I'm inclined to do my best Negative wins when I give in then I lose the test, not many times Gonna tell the story morning glory all about the serpentine fire Surely as life begun, you will as one, battle with the serpentine fire Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah, oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah Surely as life begun, you will as one, battle with the serpentine fire Surely as life begun, you will as one, battle with the serpentine fire Gonna tell the story morning glory all about the serpentine fire Gonna tell the story morning glory all about the serpentine fire
