Woody Guthrie - THIS MORNING I AM BORN AGAIN lyrics

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.
