Hear the children cryin'
But I know they cry not in vain
Now the times are changin'
Love has come to bloom againSmelling 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 gotta 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 singdon't let them cryOver 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 ploughWhy 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! Yes, as they go singing by and by
Hallelujah time! Oh "hallelujah" singing in the morning
Let them singnever let them cry
Hallelujah time! "Hallelujah" singin' in the morning
