You meet every kind of person moving toward the morning side
You see the good and the bad, the eyes are sad
You play every midnight gambler before you see the light
On the morning side, the morning side

You feel every heat and passion moving towards the morning side
To earn one more second chance, you learn the dance
When you finally climb the mountain, you see the other side
It's the morning side, the morning side

Now my life has changed and now my eyes can see
Now I'm living on the morning side
Now I'm letting all the sunlight into me
Now I'm free

And I know I'll never pass that way again
That dark journey to the morning side
On the morning side I feel my life begin
Let's begin

Steven Lawrence Winwood is most famous for his solo work, including two number one hits Higher Love and Roll with It, and for being the member of two supergroups, Traffic and Blind Faith, along with helping found the Spencer Davis Group at fourteen years old.

Speaking of which, Mozart had nothing on Winwood as a keyboard

As a boy in middle school, little Stevie Winwood played the Hammond synth for Blues gods and Rock & Roll founders like Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Howlin' Wolf, B.B. King, Chuck Berry and Bo Diddley, when they toured in Britain. We’d list more, but it’s exhausting to link all of those names.
