Morning
Came to the windows in the street
Selling red watermelon, 5 cents a piece.

Merry boat on the river
Freedom
Fresh drams to deliver
Freedom
Over and over and over
I call out your name.

God standing on the brown earth
"Get up" want a hollers
Shooflies in my doorway
White dove's gonna come today
Oh what a morning
I feel so good
Oh what a morning
Of brotherhood.

Hold me by the light
Kitten run the neighborhood
Through ragamuffin boys
All the world is new
By the light of day
Give with your heart
And love will come to you
Kids come in all shapes and colours
To the cool morning dew.

Merry boat on the river
Freedom
Fresh drams to deliver
Freedom
Over and over and over
I call out your name.

God standing on the brown earth
Lovelight in the morning
Shooflies in my doorway
White dove's gonna come today.
