Forgive me, father, for I have seen
So much pain and suffering
Is there any hope for me?

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

Forgive me, father, for I am lost
In all the trouble I have caused
Now what will become of me?

(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

I went down to the river
I went down, but the river was dry
Went down to the river
And when I closed my eyes

I saw a devil walking in the daylight
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I saw a devil in the daylight
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
And he sings hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah to me

And he sings
(Hallelujah)
Oh oh woah
(Hallelujah)
And he sings
(Hallelujah)
Hallelujah to me
(Hallelujah)
I lay down 'til the morning
I lay down
Oh oh oh oh
I lay down 'til the morning comes
To carry me away

See the devil dressed in white
Heaven fell a hundred times
Oh the joy his sorrow brings

When he sings hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah to me

Let him sing
(Hallelujah)
Oh oh woah, sing
(Hallelujah)
Let him sing
(Hallelujah)
Oh, hallelujah to me
(Hallelujah)

I saw the devil walking in the daylight
(Hallelujah)
And I saw the devil walking in the daylight
(Hallelujah)
I saw the devil walking in the daylight
But he didn't see me
No, he didn't see me
