This morning I was born again and a light shines on my land
|
I no longer look for heaven in your deathly distant 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 on my soul
|
|
This morning I was born again, I was born again complete
|
I stood up above my troubles and I stand on my 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 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 upon 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 some friend a hand
|
This morning 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 distant 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.
