Hallelujah Time

Hear the children crying But I know they cry not in vain Now the times are changing Love has come to bloom again Smelling the air when spring comes by raindrops Reminds us of youthful days But now it's not rain that water the cane crops But the sweat from man's brow The substance from our spine We got to keep on living, living on borrowed time Hallelujah time Yes, you can hear the children singing Hallelujah time As they go singing by and by Hallelujah time Ooh, hallelujah singing in the morning Hallelujah time Let them sing, don't 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 afflictions got to end somehow From swinging the hammer, pulling the plough Why won't you let us be, to live in harmony We like to be free like birds in a tree Hallelujah time Yes, you can hear the children singing Hallelujah time As they go singing by and by Hallelujah time Ooh, hallelujah singing in the morning Hallelujah time Let them sing, don't let them cry Hallelujah time Ooh, hallelujah singing in the morning Hallelujah time Ooh, hallelujah singing by and by
