hear the children cryin’ ,

now the times are changin’ ,

love has come to bloom A – gain .

bridge 1 :

F C G
smelling the air when spring comes by raindrops ,
F C G
reminds us of youthful days .
F C G
but now it’s not rain , that water the cane crops ,
F
but the sweat from man’s brow ,

the substance from our spine .
we gotta keep on living , living on borrowed time .

yes , you can hear the children singing .

as they go singing by and by .

singing in the morning .

let them sing , don’t let them cry .

C D G G7
over rocks and mountains ,
Am G
the sheep are scattered all A – round .
C D G G7
over hills and valleys ,
Am G
they are everywhere to be found .

bridge 2 :

F C G
but though we bear our burdens now ,
F C G
all af – flictions got to end , somehow .
F C G
from swinging the hammer , pulling the plough ,
F Fm
why won’t you let us be , to live in harmony?
we like to be free , like birds in a tree .

singing in the morning .

let them sing , never let them cry .

Dm G
singing in the morning . . .
