Walkin' down by the river |
|
Hangin' down my head |
|
I chanced to stop for a moment |
|
A stranger beckoned and then he said: |
|
"Walk down the road of life, a-happy as can be |
|
But not so happy, yeah, that you can't see |
|
Be very careful, mm-hmm, everywhere you go |
|
Take it very slow" |
|
Hats off to the stranger |
|
For tellin' me what he knows |
|
I said, Lord, I here ya |
|
And I'm walkin' slow |
|
Just a singin' Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
|
Let a little sunshine down on me |
|
Make this feelin' grow-ow-ow-ow |
|
Walkin' down by the river |
|
His words warmin' up my soul |
|
He called to me from the other side: |
|
"There's one more thing ya gotta know, yeah" |
|
"Nobody's perfect, boy, not me or you |
|
It doesn't matter what you say or do |
|
But you could be singin', yeah, a better tune |
|
Singin' whoa-oh-oh" |
|
------ brief instrumental break ------ |
|
"Yeah, all the things that I have said |
|
You've probably heard them all before |
|
But the way that you'll hear them from me |
|
Is like you never heard them before" |
|
Hats off to the stranger |
|
For tellin' me what he knows |
|
I said, Lord, I here ya |
|
And I'm walkin' slow, yeah |
|
Hats off to the stranger |
|
For tellin' me what he knows |
|
I said, Lord, I here ya |
|
And I'm walkin' slow |
|
Yeah, I said |
|
Hats off to the stranger |
|
For tellin' me what he knows |
|
I said, Lord, I here ya |
|
And I'm walkin' slow |
|
Just a singin' Hallelujah, oh yeah, Hallelujah |
|
Let a little sunshine down on me |
|
Make this feelin' grow |
|
A little louder |
|
Hallelujah, sing it out loud, Hallelujah |
|
Let a little sunshine down on me |
|
Make this feelin' grow |
