Brown Earth Lyrics

Morning

come to the windows

of the street

sellin' red watermelon

five cents a piece

merry boat on the river

freedom

fresh dreams to deliver

freedom

over and over and over

I call out your name



God standing on the brown earth

?get up,? mama hollers

shooflies in my doorway

white dove's gonna come today

white dove's gonna come today

oh, what a morning

I feel so good

oh, what a morning

of brotherhood



hold me by the light

kittens run the neighborhood through

ragamuffin boys

all the world is new

by the light of day



give with your heart

and love will come to you

kids come in all shapes and colors

to the cool morning dew

merry boat on the river

freedom

fresh dreams to deliver

freedom

over and over and over

and over and over and over



God standing on the brown earth

lovelight in the morning

shooflies in my doorway

white dove's gonna come today!
