quite early morning
Dont you know its darkest
Before the dawn
This thought keeps memoving on(2x)
If we could heed these early warnings
The time is now quite early morning
Some say that humankind wont long endure
But what makes them feel
So dog-one sure?(2x)
I know that you who hear my singing
Make those freedom bells go ringing
And so we keep on while we live
Until we have no more to give(2x)
And when these fingers can strum no longer
And the old banjo to young ones stronger
Dont you know its darkest
Before the dawn
This thought keeps memoving on(2x)
Through all this world of joy and sorrow
We still can havesinging tomorrow
