Look at the world, it's walking up
I couldn't sleep for dreaming
My weary soul is finally home
I had the strangest feeling
This is the dawn, the break of day
After the midnight parted
These ringing ears have waited years
To hear the bells of Harlem
Far down the streets, I see the signs
The crowd is breathing faster
Some must have walked a hundred blocks
I see the flocks and pastors
Oh what a time, to be alive
Tears of the past forgotten
It's been a long, and lonely night
I hear the bells of Harlem
They ring, they ring, they sing, they sing
The darkest hour has passed
They ring, they ring, they sing, they sing
A little joy at long last
The brightest rose, ain't no more cane
We ground it down to sorghum
We couldn't stop, the freedom train
I hear the bells of Harlem
The lyrics might not be exactly right, that
last verse is particularly hard to make out,
but this song is just gorgeous I think.
