    I heard this when I was about 16 and getting ready for work as I looked at the sun's glancing rays on the wet garden. It didn't bother me that I had to leave for work and spend all day in dark surroundings, knowing someone had captured the beautiful moment and knew how I felt about it. Now I'm old, 75, but I've not lost that belief that that is where hope and beauty still resides even if can't always partake at the table.

      You are wrong Mike. That - is NOT what this song is about. This is not a pleasant, sweet sounding 'tune' with some pretty words. It very clearly, and directly, states and references GOD - as THE source of the Morning.
      And you can forget about 'optimism' and any goodness coming to you if do not honor and come to GOD - the one who created both YOU and the morning.

I think there are a number of negatives in belief, and particularly when following a dedicated religion, but if believing gives us beautiful music like this then that is one huge positive. One of my favourite melodies ever. Peace and love from UK.

    Heavenly. Lyrics:
    Morning has broken like the first morning
    Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
    Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
    Praise for them springing fresh from the world
    Sweet the rains new fall, sunlit from Heaven
    Like the first dewfall on the first grass
    Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
    Sprung in completeness where His feet pass
    Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
    Born of the one light, Eden saw play
    Praise with elation, praise every morning
    God's recreation of the new day
    Morning has broken like the first morning
    Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
    Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
    Praise for them springing fresh from the world

      I agree. I woke up this morning with this song in my head. I only heard it maybe once or twice on the radio as a kid, so it's not like I have it memorized. I never knew Cat Stevens was the author. I simply typed the first lyric which is all I remembered into the RUclips search engine and... presto! I got the chance to see the words and I have to admit, I cried. I had a lot of loss these past 2 years...a lot of stress. This moment today made me remember, something Holy is ALWAYS happening. Thanks for reading this. The compassion and tenderness of this piece is how I always want to remember God, and to remember to be grateful, even in sorrow.

    I am a Muslim but I still could appreciate the song. It’s wonderful… celebrating the greatness of the One and only Creator. He created the first DAWN and continues with its recreation. Each new day brings hope with new opportunities and celebration of His Greatness… and Mercy/Compassion.

      Waqt Duha
      Celebrates the Glory of the Creator:
      marks His Aziim
      uplifts His Akbar
      Duha reveals His ownership,
      Absolute ownership
      Includes domains of the East and the West
      That wherever we turn our face
      We still exist in His ‘Consciousness’
      He is All Knowing
      All Encompassing…
      Ar Rahmaan Ar Rahiim…
      Rabbighfighli (forgive me)
      Warhamni (care for me)…
      Ya Allah
      Ya Rabb.
      ------
      Waqt Duha = Time of sun rise.

      The “performance” is the record, with Stevens lip-synching, piano pretending to play. As mentioned already, the piano in the recording was played by Yes’ keyboardist Rick Wakeman. Not sure who the guy pretending to play was.

    Was fortunate to meet him unexpectedly after one of his concert in Atlanta, nineteen seventy. I managed with a friend to wander backstage knowing I'd get stopped by security. The back stage door was open, facing the street, he and one of his band members were there. After my shock and in very close contact, he asked me where a good restaurant to eat was. Looking down Peachtree Rd. they had recently built what was called the Regency Hyatt that was circularly domed with the Restaurant on top. Only that told him this, is about all I can remember. Have always and to this day enjoy his music..

    He is playing a Guild F-50R double pick guard acoustic guitar for this song. They are made in the USA. Beautiful six stringers.
    Cat Stevens and Alun Davies, Jim Croce and Maury Muehleisen were my favourite acoustic guitar musos of that time and still are. I still have all their LPs from them days in vgc, stored in record hardcases.
    But I love to watch all my favourite songs on you tube now the most.
