[Verse 1]
Morning glow, morning glow
Starts to glimmer when you know
Winds of change are set to blow
And sweep this whole land through
Morning glow is long past due

Morning glow, fill the earth
Come and shine for all you're worth
We'll be present at your birth
Of all things looking new
Morning glow is long past due

[Chorus]
Oh oh oh-oh-oh morning glow
Oh oh oh-oh-oh morning glow
I'd like to help, you know
You should have started long ago

[Verse 2]
Morning glow all day long (morning glow)
While we sing tomorrow's song (morning glow)
Never knew we could be so strong
But now it's very clear
Morning glow it's almost here

[Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh morning glow
Oh oh oh-oh-oh morning glow
I'd like to help you grow
We should have started long ago

[Verse 3]
Morning glow, filled with light
You can make the whole day bright
All the bad songs of the night
Will fade into the past
Morning glow is here at last
Woo-oooh, wooh-oooh, woo-oooh, woo-oooh [to fade]

Michael Jackson

Michael Jackson was born on August 29, 1958, in Gary, Indiana. Jackson began his career when he was seven years old as the lead singer of the Jackson 5, breaking into stardom in 1969 after signing into Motown. The Jackson 5’s first four singles all peaked at number one on the Billboard 100, and soon after Michael pursued a solo career.

His breakthrough fifth album, 1979’s Off The Wall produced four top ten hits (including “Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough”) and sold 20 million copies, establishing him as a household name. The album was followed with 1982’s Thriller, which became the best selling album of all time, and was the first album to feature seven top 10 singles, including “Billie Jean” and “Beat It.”

In 1985, Michael contributed to the collaboration single “We Are The World”, which remains one of the best-selling singles of all time and raised nearly $65 million for famine relief.
