Hear the children cryin'
But I know they cry not in vain
Now the times are changin'
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 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 sing, don't let them cry
