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 pardon
These ringing ears have waited years
To hear the bells of Harlem
Far down the streets, I see the sign
The crowd is breathing faster
Some must have walked a hundred blocks
I see the flocks in pastures
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
[Incomprehensible]
We grind it down to sorghum
We couldn't stop the freedom train
I hear the bells of Harlem
Look at the world, it's waking 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 pardon These ringing ears have waited years To hear the bells of Harlem Far down the streets, I see the sign The crowd is breathing faster Some must have walked a hundred blocks I see the flocks in pastures 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 [Incomprehensible] We grind it down to sorghum We couldn't stop the freedom train I hear the bells of Harlem Explain Request ×
