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
