Lyrics
In the early morning
When the day is yours and mine
Take my hand and sound the warning
For love and living must be fine
My father kissed me gently
At the parting hour of three
And I gave him beads and flowers
And a kiss he gave to me
Oh, a kiss he gave to me
But his eyes were of a stranger
A man beyond the desert
Other side of earth's danger
And on this highway to tomorrow
Looking back, the way is dim
Give me back my right to freedom
Was all I asked of him
These roads are made for transports
Little children cannot pass
Without bleeding through these cities
Paved with fear and broken glass
Fear and broken glass
And pulled about the dandelion
Bring the sun around my shoulders
And pressures on my mind
And on this highway to tomorrow
Looking back, the way is dim
Give me back my right to freedom
Was all I asked of him
In the early morning
When the day is yours and mine
Take my hand and sound the warning
For love and living must be fine
My father kissed me gently
There is no forgetting this
He shall keep my beads and flowers
And I branded with his kiss
Oh, a kiss he gave to me
But his eyes were of a stranger
A man beyond the desert
Other side of earth's danger
And on this highway to tomorrow
Looking back, the way is dim
Give me back my right to freedom
Was all I asked of him
