Hallelujah

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 raindropsreminds 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.

Over rocks and mountainsthe 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! Yes, as they go singing by and by.Hallelujah time! Oh "hallelujah" singing in the morning.Let them sing; never let them cry.Hallelujah time! "Hallelujah" singin' in the morning.

Waiting in vain

1, 2, 3:

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;I don't wanna wait in vain for your love.From the very first time I rest my eyes on you, girl,My heart says follow t'rough.But I know, now, that I'm way down on your line,But the waitin' feel is fine:So don't treat me like a puppet on a string,'Cause I know I have to do my thing.Don't talk to me as if you think I'm dumb;I wanna know when you're gonna come - soon.I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;I don't wanna wait in vain for your love,'Cause if summer is here,I'm still waiting there;Winter is here,And I'm still waiting there.---/Guitar solo/---Like I said:It's been three years since I'm knockin' on your door,And I still can knock some more:Ooh girl, ooh girl, is it feasible?I wanna know now, for I to knock some more.Ya see, in life I know there's lots of grief,But your love is my relief:Tears in my eyes burn - tears in my eyes burnWhile I'm waiting - while I'm waiting for my turn,See!

I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;I don't wanna wait in vain for your love;I don't wanna wait in vain for your love, oh!I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna -I don't wanna wait in vain.I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna -I don't wanna wait in vain.No, I don't wanna (I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna -I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain) -No I - no I (I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don'twanna - I don't wanna wait in vain) -No, no-no, I, no, I (I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna -I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain) -It's your love that I'm waiting on (I don't wanna - I don't wanna -I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain);It's me love that you're running from.It's Jah love that I'm waiting on (I don't wanna - I don't wanna -I don't wanna - I don't wanna - I don't wanna wait in vain);It's me love that you're running from.
