Bright morning star a'rising
Bright morning star a'rising
Bright morning star a'rising
Day is a'breaking in my soul
Oh where are our dear mothers?
Oh where are our dear mothers?
They are sowing seeds of gladness
Day is a'breaking in my soul
Oh where are our dear sisters?
Oh where are our dear mothers?
They have gone on before us
Day is a'breaking in my soul
Some have gone to heaven shouting
Some have gone to heaven shouting
Some are in the valley praying'
Day is a'breaking in my soul
Oh where are our dear fathers?
Oh where are our dear fathers?
They are down in the valley a'praying
Day is a'breaking in my soul
Oh how can I be lonely
My friends are all around me
Their loving arms surround me
Day is a'breaking in my soul
Bright morning star a'rising
Bright morning star a'rising
Bright morning star a'rising
Day is a'breaking in my soul
