A little addendum:
Morning Has Broken, on Cat Steven's album, writer' credits went to E. Farjon and Cat Stevens. Never could figure that one out.
Morning Has Broken is an old hymn of the church, written in the late 1800's by Ethel Farejon. Cat Steven's did a wonderfully styalized performance of the song, but changed not a word, nore a note.
Perhaps, because Morning Has Broken is in the Public Domain, he included Ethel Farejon out of courtesy and reverence. I choose to believe that.
The only word he said differently was in the phrase "God's recreation." Ethel intended it to be "God's re-creation" Small difference, really. I always sang re-creation.
