This Mornin' I Am Born Again

By Woody GuthrieThis 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 dont want your streets of gold
This morning I was born again and a light shines on my soulThis 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 flyThis 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 seasI feel the sun upon me, its 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 landThis 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 dont want your streets of gold
And I do not want your mansion for my heart is never cold.
