The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - It's Morning lyrics

One parrot in a cage At the home of a friend Is reason to wonder and stare Green wings and red face And a sapphire belly A racket so loud As to out shout the tele But this morning my prayer By the side of the sea Took odds to turn back To the moon in the trees Where a green cloud of birds In a flock of a thou' Yelled from one to another It's morning out loud It's morning, it's morning It's morning they cried From the edge of the treetops To the edge of the skies It's morning, it's morning It's morning they cried So open your heart When you open your eyes And the sound of their voices Together did blend Forming chords of awakening If I'm not here again For they shouted Never again would they fly In such numbers across Such a primitive sky And they noticed my heart As it sank to the sand Do not hurry they called It's all part of a plan Chorus
