Maybe the mornin'
Will it find the sun shining
Warming the eyes of your children, again

Maybe the mornin'
Will bring you together
Makin' the whole world more beautiful then

Look well at your elders
Now look well at the preacher
Think of the pain of those long early years

Look well at your parents
Now look well at the teacher
See why the good times are too, too close to tears

Quickly they're growing and fighting and crying
Trying to understand why it should be
When they love someone, it's not always easy
To make us aware, to make everyone see

Look well at your elders
Now look well at the preacher
Think of the pain of those long early years

Look well at your parents
Now look well at the teacher
See why the good times are too, too close to tears

Look well at your elders
Now look well at the preacher
Think of the pain of those long early years

Look well at your parents
Now look well at the teacher
See why the good times are too, too close to tears

Ooo-ooo-ooo
