Morning, come for the windows of the street, selling red watermelon, five cents a piece
Merry boat on the river, freedom Fresh dreams to deliver, freedom
Over and over and over, I call out your name

God standing on the brown earth "?Get up,' Mama hollers
Shooflies in the doorway, white dove's gonna come today, 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 Kittens 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 colors to the cool morning dew

Merry boat on the river, freedom Fresh dreams to deliver, freedom
Over and over and over and over and over and over
God standing on the brown earth Lovelight in the morning
Shooflies in the doorway, white dove's gonna come today, white dove's gonna come today"¦
