Bright Morning Stars / Botawak lyrics
by Rising Appalachia
"Bright Morning Stars"
[Chorus]
Bright morning stars are rising
Bright morning stars are rising
Bright morning stars are rising
Day is a breakin’ in my soul
[Verse 1]
Oh where are our dear mothers
Oh where are our dear mothers
They’re down in the valley a’ singin’
Day is a breakin’ in my soul
[Verse 2]
Oh where are our dear fathers
Oh where are our dear fathers
They’ve gone up to heaven a’ shoutin’
Day is a breakin’ in my soul
[Chorus]
Bright morning stars are rising
Bright morning stars are rising
Bright morning stars are rising
Day is a breakin’ in my soul
“Boktiwak”
(Costa Rican Bribri First Nation song)
