Lyrics for New Morning (Live)

One morn I awakened A new sun was shining The sky was a Kingdom All covered in blood The moon and the stars Where the troops that lay conquered Like fruit left to wither Poor spiritual food And the spears of bright sun All brave with it conquest Did hover unearthly With banners of fire I kneit in the garden Awash with the dawning And a voice came so brightly I covered my eyes Thank you for giving This bright new morning So steeped seemed the evening In darkness and blood Let there be no sadness, no sorrow Let there be no road too narrow There'll be a new day And it's today For us I thank you for giving This bright new morning So steeped seemed the evening In darkness and blood Let there be no sadness, no sorrow There'll be no road too narrow There'll be a new day And it's today For us
