This Morning I Am Born Again

[Intro ] C [Refrão] C G C F This morning I am born again, and light shines through the land C G C F I'd give myself, my heart, my soul, to lend a friend a hand Dm Em F And every deathly humming dove I love and understand F G C G And there is only emptiness against me [Verso 1] C G C F Where once the dust I suffered from would find me in my sleep C G C F It pushed me and it pulled me, and it promised many things Dm Em F I moved too fast, I throttled back, ashamed at my relief F G C G I feared the gentleness of my ambition [Refrão] C G C F This morning I am light, untying unwritten belief C G C F I ride the rising horselight as it drives across the creek Dm Em F And breezes lap the bracken back and slip between my teeth F G C G And all around is evidence of plenty [Verso 2] C G C F I've seen pasture after pasture and their fragments in the air C G C F I've seen bodies flown and bodies thrown and bodies shown such care Dm Em F I've gathered up my own, and there were still so many there G C G Asking who is making up these questions [Refrão] C G C F This morning I am born, and I am for the forms we are C G C F In our great eternal moment in the thrall of our own star Dm Em F In our bordered and our neighbored and our tortured little yards F G C G Fighting all this emptiness against us [Verso 3] C F C F So we hip the sumac, lip the dew sap, rip the rabbit lines C Dm C F So we dash the sun-drenched tacked and tongueless "No Trespassing" signs Dm Em F Like raspberries and leaves and steam, we reach into our skies F G C And there is only emptiness against us
