For Nighttime and Morning

I decided it was time to get back the morning,
so I set the alarm two nights ago and I got out of bed.
the cold will not deter you from loving being alive
the snow will not deter you from loving being alive.

There is no one at the end of the day who's going to tell you if you did it well
There is no one in the morning who's going to tell you what that day is for.

But these days those last moments before sleeping are the sweetest,  you can say:
those things may be true, Rachel, but this moment you know is for being right here.
 lying  in your body is also living, and you will love the world by doing this.
There is no one else to draw the line for you
about what it means to love.
