I used to sit perfectly paralyzed
Lost in thought and feeling my conscience rise
Man, I wish you could have seen me ration'lize
I would even invite the darkness in
Fighting back and taking it on the chin
Now I've no more wars to wage or win
And I do swear as I do sing
That I will welcome everything
O Susanna, I couldn't have planned a better morning
Since our Sunday in Sausalito
I ain't got all the facts but I feel I know
The beacon was speakin' I could feel it glow
And I don't think Lolita was all that psyched
Having had her puberty open-miked
And all this fuss over some guy she kinda liked
But I do swear as I do sing
That I will welcome everything
O Susanna, I couldn't have planned a better morning
Like the word that's heard without a sound
Like the Holy Ghost growing in the ground
You're the kind I consult when there's no one 'round
And I do swear as I do sing
That I will welcome anything
O Susanna, I couldn't have planned a better morning
O Susanna, I couldn't have planned a better morning
O Susanna, I couldn't have planned a better morning
