lyrics

By the light of the morning
A new sun was dawning
A rooster was crowing at me

I said, “Rooster, why you crowing
First thing in the morning
When some folks are trying to sleep?”

He said, “Man, why you snoozing?
Think of all the time you’re losing
Life you could be using for living free”

So I jumped out of bed
Breathed the air into my head
And tiptoed past the rest just dead asleep

I put my feet right to the road
Just to see where it was going
To learn what it might know about being me

And it led me to a white horse
A heaving breathing life force
He carried me through the quiet forest trees

And he led me to a river
That mighty life-giver
I jumped in with a shiver and a squeal

And I looked up to the sky
To the clouds rolling by
Saw the sunlight just shining for me

And I sang, “La la la la la…”
