Gabriel & The Vagabond

There's a man on corner and his clothes are worn

And he's holding out his hand

You can see in his eyes as the people walk by

He knows they don't understand

You see, they just think he's gonna take their money

And then go and spend it on ****

Then a man stopped by him and I saw a smile inside

As he gently whispered hope

Well the tramp started to cry, just kept saying

Why, why, why? Can't you see I'm a down-and-out

I'm 32 and I've got this one pair of shoes

And a bad taste in my mouth

I think it's clear to see that even God don't love me

Or else why would he leave me this way.

Then Gabriel just smiled and said "Be at peace my child,

Salvation is here today."

He got up to his feet and he sang Hallelujah

People were turning around in the street

He looked them in the eyes and he sang Hallelujah

There's someone here you gotta meet

Someone you just gotta meet.

When the vagabond turned around, well without a sound

Gabriel just smiled and disappeared

When he looked to the crowd they were laughing out loud

But he could not see them for tears

When his vision came round there was a young girl on the ground

And he knew she was finding it hard to cope

She never was a fighter until he laid beside her

And gently whispered hope

They got up to their feet and they sang Hallelujah

People in the street were turning around

They looked them in the eyes and they sang Hallelujah

Oh, there's someone here that we have found

They sang, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

We are the voices crying in the wilderness

[04:14.40]Hallelujah, Hallelujah

The people in the street started their sins to confess and a chorus of

Every knee will bow and every tongue confess

And the voice of one crying in the wilderness

Crying out Hallelujah, Hallelujah
