Forget your troubles, come on, get happy
We're gonna chase all your cares away
Shout "Hallelujah," come on, get happy
We're headin' for the Judgment Day
The sun is shinin', come on, get happy
The Lord is waitin' to take your hand
Shout "Hallelujah," come on, get happy
We're goin' to the Promised Land
We're headin' 'cross the river, wash your sins away in the tide
It's all so peaceful on the other side
Forget your troubles, come on, get happy
Come on and chase all your cares away
Shout "Hallelujah," come on, get happy
We're goin’ to the Judgment Day
Forget your troubles, come on, get happy
Chase your cares away
Hallelujah, get happy... to the Judgement Day
The sun is shinin', come on, get happy
The Lord is waitin' to take your hand
Shout "Hallelujah," come on, get happy
We're gonna be goin' to the Promised Land
We're headin' 'cross the river, wash your sins away in the tide
It's quiet and peaceful on the other side
Forget your troubles, get happy, your cares fly away
Shout "Hallelujah," get happy, get ready for the Judgement Day
Come on, get happy
Chase your cares away
"Hallelujah," get happy
We're goin’ to the Judgement Day
The sun is shinin', come on, get happy
The Lord is waitin' to take your hand
Shout "Hallelujah," come on, get happy
We're goin' to the Promised Land
We're headin' 'cross the river, wash your sins away in the tide
It's quiet and peaceful on the other side
Forget your troubles, come on, get happy
We're gonna chase all your cares away
Shout "Hallelujah," come on, get happy
Get ready, get ready, get ready for the Judgement Day |
