"Bright Morning Stars" by Emmylou Harris

(Traditional)

Bright morning stars are rising, 
Bright morning stars are rising, 
Bright morning stars are rising, 
Day is a-breaking in my soul. 

Oh, where are our dear mothers, 
Day is a-breaking in my soul. 

They are down in the valley praying, 
Day is a-breaking in my soul. 

Oh where are our dear fathers, 
Day is a-breaking in my soul. 

They have gone to heaven shouting, 
Day is a-breaking in my soul. 

Bright morning stars are rising, 
Day is a-breaking in my soul.
