"hallelujah (i am the preacher)" (cook, greenaway)

(fotografia de william christenberry, "do you believe in jesus, i do", 1966)

"hallelujah

i am a preacher with a message for my people
over the world, scratching on the ground
looking for the peace that nobody has found

i am a spokesman for a better way of living
love is the word and it can be heard
if you are young the message can be sung

let me hear you sing, hallelujah

oh tell it to the man whose power is the sermon on the wall
tell it to the man who says you can misjudge them all
tell it till it can be heard above the wailing of the crowd
tell it on the field of war and hope youll soon be justified

there is a better way of life and its not so hard to find
if you live and let the people in your world speak its mind

i am the pupil who sells his life for freedom
all over the world and it can be heard
if you are young the message can be sung

hallelujah" (1)
