Hallelujah Lyrics - Jazz At Massey Hall - Charlie Parker

I walked down these city streets 

Just a lonely man inspired 

Hoping God would send the water down 

To quench this burning fire 

If I left here for the mountain 

A monastery man 

Things are still the same so I remain 

To show just who I am 

Seen things around me 

Bonnie and Clyde 

Graffiti with no message 

Doctors medicine and pride 

But it doesn't really matter 

They're blowin' in the wind 

On the cover of a magazine

[Chorus:] 

Hallelujah 

Babylon is falling 

Babylon is falling 

Hallelujah 

Babylon is falling 

Babylon is falling 

I try to wash my dirty hands 

But they won't come off with water 

Hoping truth will make me clean and then 

Redeem my sons and daughters 

Though they're not we're very happy 

Vast along the nose 

That's why I left my memories far behind on nature's road 

Seems so simple, the future's the past 

The present are the things we holdin' on to make those last 

But it doesn't really matter
