Ray Wylie Hubbard - This Mornin' I Am Born Again lyrics

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 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
