A Good Morning

This is a good morning For Africa-Americans, a good morning for the world This is a good morning For children in Jamaica, a good morning to unfurl The flag of the motherland And the flag of the present land Like a mother and a daughter Walking to the water hole Walking home with the cassava tray Balanced on the brows of the day. This is a good morning for Oshun to give praise A good morning for poets to sing lays A good morning for the eagle to fly To the shining citadel in a lonely sky. Tupac, let me tell you, brother Mayo, let me tell you sister Thurgood, Martin, Lincoln and Malcom This is a good morning, for new wisdom To chant eternal hallelujah.
