[Verse 1]
Morning came to the windows of the street
Selling red watermelon, five cents a piece
Merry boat on the river, freedom
Fresh dreams to deliver, freedom
Over and over and over
I call out your name

[Chorus]
God standing on the brown earth (Brown earth)
Get up, mama hollers
Shooflies in the doorway
White doves gonna come today
White doves gonna come today

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, what a morning
I feel so good
Oh, what a morning
Of brotherhood

[Bridge]
Hold me by the light
Kittens run the neighborhood through
Ragamuffin boys
All the world is new by the light of day
[Verse 2]
Give with your heart and love will come to you
Kids come in all shapes and colors to the cool morning dew
Merry boat on the river, freedom
Fresh dreams to deliver, freedom
Over and over and over
And over and over and over

[Chorus]
God standing on the brown earth (Brown earth)
Lovelight in the morning
Shooflies in the doorway
White doves gonna come today
White doves gonna come today

[Outro]
White doves gonna come today
White doves gonna come today
White doves gonna
Come today
White doves gonna come today
