Mornin' Silence

Hello! Jesus, my old friend
I've come to talk to you again
To receive blessings in early mornin' light
After the night
No longer in a world of silence

The sun rises once again 
From  distance shores of other men
The sky holds dreadlocks of dark grey
But can't keep the Son away
My tears as rain comes down
For all the world's evil around
In this mornin' silence

Hello! Jesus, come again__ fill my heart
Let me weep and not condemn
Show me what I can do
I want my life to count so for you'
In this world of silence

The birds to you sing their praise
Thank you Father for today
Thank you so for all the food
For the sun and the moon
For the glories of the sky

Then the crows crawing near-by
The changing colors of the sky
For the sound of silence

The crows are so distrubed
Are they greeting the sun with words
As it's changing the sky from night
With colors so gloriously bright
The sky's sun casting magenta on the dreadlock clouds
Crows singing very loud
To the sound of silence

Are the timber cutters disturbing 
The crow's roost
Those silhoeutted trees against the rose tinted clouds 
Of the mornin' blue sky
That lift arms of praise to the sky
In the sound of silence

Roosters begin their tune of love
The tune that you gifted them to sing
In the mornin' silence
Ocean wave charcoal clouds 
Jet streak going through
Mornin' silence is distrubed with a noise
In the mornin' silence

Clouds have changed to golden sand
Sun has risen again soon to heat the earth
Restoring leaves to green the trees
In the sound of silence
