As sunlight paints her colors Across the eastern skies The westward murmurations Of starling birds float by Another watchman scans the heavens From thousands of miles afar Their hopes for peace and friendship are never far apart Say good morning to the day Say good morning yeah Say good morning to the day Say good morning say good morning Life begins today A father rises early To put his hands upon a plow First he kisses all his children His love they never doubt A mother brings her infant Closer to her chest Into her daughter’s eyes she gazes To feel the depths of humanness
