This Mornin' I Am Born Again Lyrics - Singles - Hubbard Ray Wylie

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 dont 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, 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 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 dont want your streets of gold 

And I do not want your mansion for my heart is never cold.
