This morning I was born again
by Woody Guthrie
This morning I was born again, and a light shines on my land,
I no longer look for heaven in your deathly distznt land.
I do not want your pearly gates, don’t want your streets of gold,
this morning I was born again, and a light shines in my soul.
This morning I was born again, I was born again complete,
I stood up above my troubles, and I stand on my own two feet.
My hand it feels unlimited, my body feels like the sky,
I feel at home in the universe, where yonder planets fly,=.
This morning I was born again, my past is dead and gone.
This great eternal moment is my great eternal dawn.
Each drop of blood within me, each breath of life I breathe
is united with these mountains, and the mountains with the seas.
I feel the sun upion me, it’s rays crawl through my skin.
I breathe the life of Jesus, and old John Henry in.
I give myself, my heart, my soul, to give a friend a hand,
this mornin ing I was born again, I am in the promised land.
This morning I was born again, and a light shines on my land,
I no longer look for heaven in your deathly distznt land.
I do not want your pearly gates, don’t want your streets of gold,
And I do not want your mansion for my heart is never cold.
