[Chorus]
Hallelujah day
Sing hallelujah
Love is on its way
It's coming to ya

[Verse 1]
Children gather 'round now
Clap your hands and sing
That old sun is shining down
Soon the bells are gonna ring
Yes they will now
Can't you see that ray of hope
Somebody finally saw the light
They're gonna send our brothers home
It's gonna be alright, yeah

[Chorus]
Hallelujah day
Sing hallelujah
Love is on its way
It's coming to ya
Hallelujah day
Sing hallelujah
Hallelujah day
Sing hallelujah

[Verse 2]
People come together
Let the good times roll
We can make this last forever
If you feel it in your soul
Somebody found the key
Somebody opened up the door
Now there'll be dancing in the street
This is the day we've been waiting for, oh

[Chorus]
Hallelujah day (Sing it, yeah)
Sing hallelujah
Hallelujah day
Sing hallelujah (Oh yeah)

[Bridge]
Everybody get together
And put your hands like this
And sing along with the Jackson Five, yeah
Singing hallelujah
Singing, singing, singing, yeah
Hallelujah, yeah

[Chorus]
Hallelujah day
Sing hallelujah
Love is on its way
Sing hallelujah
Hallelujah day
Sing hallelujah
Hallelujah day
Sing hallelujah
Hallelujah day
Sing hallelujah
Love is on its way
Sing hallelujah
Hallelujah day
Sing hallelujah
Hallelujah day
Sing hallelujah...

The Jackson 5

The Jackson 5 were originally formed in 1963 under the name, The Jackson Brothers. The founding members were Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, and Marlon. Michael would join the group as the lead singer a year later, a move which pushed Jermaine to sing the backing vocals and play the lead guitar.

After participating in a series of talent shows, they entered the professional music scene in 1967, signing with Steeltown Records and releasing ten singles. In 1969, they left Steeltown Records in order to sign with Motown.

In 1975, most of the Jacksons had opted out of recording any more music for Motown, expressing desires to have creative control over their songs, as well as royalties. Learning that they were earning only 2.8% of royalties from Motown, Joe Jackson, the father and manager of the group, began to negotiate a lucrative contract with Epic records, which offered a royalty rate of 20% per record. The deal was completed in June 1975. As Motown owned the name The Jackson 5, the group simply renamed themselves The Jacksons.
