Thread Name: Lyr Req: Bright Morning Stars/Bright Morning Star
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Bright Morning Stars
Here is what I have, from various sources. Everyone has the fathers and mothers: a few have the others. Only one source for the children- it may have been made up by that source. Any ideas?
Or should we start writing new verses?

.................................
Bright morning stars are rising
Bright morning stars are rising
Bright morning stars are rising
Day is a-breaking in my soul
Oh, where are our dear mothers?(x3)
Day is a-breaking in my soul
They are down in the valley praying(x3)
Day is a-breaking in my soul
Oh where are our dear fathers? (x3)
Day is a-breaking in my soul
They have gone to heaven shouting(x3)
Day is a-breaking in my soul
Oh where are our dear sisters? (x3)
Day is a-breaking in my soul
They areā¦.(x3)
Day is a-breaking in my soul
Oh where are our dear brothers?(x3)
Day is a-breaking in my soul
They are at the wars and fighting.(x3)
Day is a-breaking in my soul
Oh where are our dear children? (x3)
Day is breaking in my soul.
They are by the stream a dancing. (x3)
Day is breaking in my soul.
Bright morning stars are rising.(x3)
Day is a-breaking in my soul
