Song Lyrics

Morning, new morning
As the light washes in through my front door

Morning, precious morning
As the sweet smell of coffee brewing wakens me once more
And the rooster plays his trumpet,
Calls the world out to be born
Oh, my morning
Mother, mother smiling
Tells me, Carry my love with you everywhere you go.
And that God is always watching so that I am not alone
Oh, my mother

Some days your load is easy, boy, Some days it weighs you down
I've thrown my hands up to the sky more times than I can count
And the day may last forever but I'll be waiting when it's done
And at night we will dance, Dance in the heart of the sun

Father, with your wisdom
Says to walk with pride no matter what the work you do
For the joy from inside will bring only good to you
Oh, my father

Some days the money comes, most days the money goes
You can tell a rich man by the people he holds close
Every day the work is hard but every day the work gets done
And at night we will dance, Dance in the heart of the sun

When your back is breaking and the sweat is in your eyes
When your heart is aching and the pain won't be denied
Remember that when all is said and done
There is no fire that burns you
There is no heat can hurt you when you dance
Dance in the heart of the sun, in the heart of the sun

Some days your load is easy, boy, Some days it weighs you down
I've thrown my hands up to the sky more times than I can count
And the day may last forever but I'll be waiting when it's done
And at night we will dance, Dance in the heart of the sun
