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.
