Quite Early Morning

Don't you know it's darkest before the dawn
 And it's this thought keeps me moving on
 If we could heed these early warnings
 The time is now quite early morning
 If we could heed these early warnings
 The time is now quite early morning
 Some say that humankind won't long endure
 But what makes them so doggone sure?
 I know that you who hear my singing
 Could make those freedom bells go ringing
 I know that you who hear my singing
 Could make those freedom bells go ringing
 And so keep on while we live
 Until we have no, no more to give
 And when these fingers can strum no longer
 Hand the old banjo to young ones stronger
 And when these fingers can strum no longer
 Hand the old banjo to young ones stronger
 So though it's darkest before the dawn
 These thoughts keep us moving on
 Through all this world of joy and sorrow
 We still can have singing tomorrows
 Through all this world of joy and sorrow
 We still can have singing tomorrows
