A New Day at Midnight

Oh my word ain’t never seen

Day so golden, Earth so green

Put my face into the stream

That I might see

What might have been

Oh my heart how time has flown

Feet that pass along the stone

I hardly recognized my home

All the paths had overgrown

The music and the laughter gone

‘Pon my soul ain’t never felt

So free of all the chains I built

All the pain and all the guilt

Vanished now beneath the silt

I’m striding ‘cross Orion’s belt

Oh my word I…

Oh my word I…

Oh my word I…
