Hallelujah Time - The Wailers

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

Oh, «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
