halleluia

halleluia, they all cried in loud voices
down by the river, they've been singin', dancin'
praisin' the greatest powers, land, wind, water
thankful for joy, food, prosperity, friendship
they don’t know taint necessary to shout loud
the earth hears, the water hears, blue sky hears too
green grass is filled with halleluia wonder
hearing our simple voices, halleluia
the moon and sun hear, every star in heaven
mountains, oceans, flowers hear halleluia
everything hears, for all on this earth is blessed
everywhere we find praise for halleluia,
in tiny things, big things, the invisible
power of halleluia, the magnitude
of the earth always turning round day and night
we're all born with the grace of halleluia
so let go, feel the joy, sing halleluia
down by the river or quietly at home
this praise, called halleluia, is heard by all
living things created magnificently
on our halleluia blue planet, called earth
