Hallelujah Time

Hear the children cryin'

But I know they cry not in vain

For now, the times are changin'

Love buds come to bloom again

Smelling the earth when spring come by raindrops

Reminds us of youthful days

But now, it's not a rain

That water the cane crops

But the sweat from man's brow

The substance from our spines

We gotta keep on living

Living on borrowed time

Hallelujah time

As you can hear the children singing

Hallelujah time

As they go singin' by and by

Hallelujah time

Ooh, hallelujah, sing it in the mornin'

Singing Hallelujah time

Let them sing, don't you let them cry

Over rocks and mountains

The sheep are scattered all around

Over hills and valleys

They are everywhere to be found

But though we bear our burdens now

All affliction's got to end somehow

From swinging the hammer

Pulling the plow

Why won't you let us be

To live in harmony?

We like to be free

Like birds in a tree

Hallelujah time

As you can hear the children singing

Hallelujah time

As they go singin' by and by

Hallelujah time

Ooh, hallelujah, sing it in the mornin'

Singing Hallelujah time

Let them sing, never let them cry

Hallelujah time

Ooh, hallelujah, sing it in the mornin'

Singing Hallelujah time

Ooh, hallelujah, sing it by and by
