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...
