Song Lyric of the Day (Ed Ames, on ‘If the Soul is Darkened’)

“If the soul is darkened

By a fear it cannot name,

If the mind is baffled

When the rules don't fit the game,

Who will answer? Who will answer? Who will answer?

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!, Hallelujah!”—“Who Will Answer? (Aleluya No. 1)”, music and lyrics by Luis Eduardo Aute, translated into English with new lyrics by Sheila Davis, performed by Ed Ames on his Who Will Answer? LP (1968)
