"Live a Little" was born alongside "Peace," "Prisoner," and several other songs that emerged after a long break from writing. Rooted in the blues, it began as a daydream — a planned trip to Mexico, rod in hand, sun on the water. But somewhere between imagination and melody, the fishing excursion drifted into something deeper, taking on the feeling of a spiritual journey I hadn't set out to take.
Recording this song with our newfound friends in Anguilla was a gift — a chance to capture what the song has grown into over the years. Live a little, indeed.
Woven into the bridge is Witchi Tai To, the beloved song by Jim Pepper — a nod to my dance band days and my enduring love for reimagining the music of others. The sea breeze, the nights of music spilling onto the beach, the quiet thoughtfulness of the studio — all of it has found a permanent place in my heart.

Lyrics

LIVE A LITTLE -CARY MORIN (BMI)

THIS COULD BE THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE
I’M GOING TO STAND IN THE WATER, STAND IN THE WATER
THIS COULD BE THE LAST RAY OF CELESTIAL LIGHT
I’M GOING TO STAND IN THE WATER, STAND IN THE WATER
I’M GOING TO LET THE SUN TELL ME THE ANSWERS
I’M GOING TO LIVE JUST A LITTLE, LIVE JUST A LITTLE

THIS COULD BE THE LAST DAY OF THE REST OF YOUR LIFE
I’M GOING TO STAND IN THE WATER, STAND IN THE WATER
THIS COULD BE THE FASTEST WAY TO GET ME THROUGH THE NIGHT
I’M GOING TO STAND IN THE WATER, STAND IN THE WATER
I’M GOING TO LET THE SUN TELL ME THE ANSWERS
I’M GOING TO LET THE SUN TELL ME THE ANSWERS
I’M GOING TO LIVE JUST A LITTLE, LIVE JUST A LITTLE

WATER SPIRITS, SPIRITS SPRINGING IN MY HEAD
MAKES ME FEEL BAD THAT I’M NOT DEAD
WATER SPIRITS, SPIRITS SPRINGING IN MY HEAD
MAKES ME FEEL BAD THAT I’M NOT DEAD

WITCHI TAI TAI GIMME RAH
HORA NEEKO, HORA NEEKO
HEY NAY, HEY NAY, NO RAH

WITCHI TAI TAI GIMME RAH
HORA NEEKO, HORA NEEKO
HEY NAY, HEY NAY, NO RAH

I FEEL LIKE DANCIN, EVERYBODY IN THE ROOM IS JUMPIN
BUMPIN TO THE RHYTHM OF THE REGGAE PUMPIN
EVERYBODY IN A VERY HIP STYLE
EVERYBODY GONNA GET BUSY FOR AWHILE
IN THE BACKROOM THERE’S A MAN
WHO GONNA BE BACK IN THE JAIL SOON
EVERYBODY GETTING DOWN INTERNATIONAL
EVERYBODY GONNA TALK ABOUT THE DANCEHALL

I’M HERE TO TELL YOU THAT THE WORLD MEANS CHANGE
EVERYBODY REARRANGE
THE WAY THEY OPERATE AS AN INDIVIDUAL
YOU WANNA BE ON TOP OF IT, YOU WANNA BE ORIGINAL
MAMA THAT DON’T MEAN I’M GONNA STAND IN LINE
EVERYBODY GETTING DOWN INTERNATIONAL
EVERYBODY TALK ABOUT THE DANCEHALL, TALK ABOUT THE DANCEHALL

I COULD BE STANDING ON THE EDGE OF SOMETHING BIG
I’M GOING TO STAND IN THE WATER, STAND IN THE WATER
ALL I NEED IS FOR SOMEBODY TO BELIEVE THAT IT IS
I’M GOING TO STAND IN THE WATER, STAND IN THE WATER
I’M GOING TO LET THE SUN TELL ME THE ANSWERS
I’M GOING TO LET THE SUN TELL ME THE ANSWERS
I’M GOING TO LET THE SUN TELL ME THE ANSWERS
I’M GOING TO LET THE SUN TELL ME
