Hallelujah People by Eric Wainaina Lyrics

His voice is a fist he’s used to raising
But when he starts to speak something’s changing
His face turns to a smile
One she’s not seen for a while
She’s off into a bright new day

Hallelujah People
Hallelujah People
Ordinary People
Hallelujah People

She comes home shining through the door
That smile has traveled miles for sure
She greets him on the lips
Young eyes witness it
And out into the street
Go skipping happy feet

Hallelujah People
Hallelujah People
Ordinary People
Hallelujah People
Everyday people
Everyday affairs
Everyday heroes
Showing that they care
Good vibrations going from one to one
Paying it forward
Faces to the sun

Smiling at the girl at the counter
(Hallelujah)
Spare change for the man on the corner
(Hallelujah)
Keeping an open mind and a half-full cup
(Hallelujah)
Letting love live and lovers love

Hallelujah People
Hallelujah People
Ordinary People
Hallelujah People
Hallelujah People
Hallelujah People
Ordinary People
Hallelujah People

Hallelujah People
Hallelujah People
Ordinary People
Hallelujah People
Hallelujah People
Hallelujah People
Ordinary People
Hallelujah People
