Verse 1

The kettle sings, the curtains part,

A stripe of gold crosses the floor.

The morning taps against my heart—

Come on, get up, unlock the door!

Chorus

Good morning, world, the day is here!

We greet it with a ringing cheer.

Throw wide the windows, let hope begin,

A brand-new morning—let us in!

Verse 2

The bread is warm, the coffee steams,

The sparrows gather by the sill.

I shake the sleep from yesterday’s dreams;

The road ahead is bright and still.

Chorus

Good morning, world, the day is here!
