“Hail The Man” is a positive greeting inspirational song about greeting God on a brand new day, written by Jamaican reggae star Ernie Smith and first recorded by Ken Lazarus.
What do you say to the coming of a brand new day
When the shadows are falling away even from the eyes of yore
Express it if you might as the passing of the night
And the coming of light through a brand new door
How do you tell everybody everything will be well
And the sound of the splitting of the bell is just too good to ignore
You'll say
Chorus:
Hail the Man, that's Your brother on the street
Hail the Man every time we meet
Hail Your brother
Equal man
Hail Your sister
Shake a hand
It's a brand new day and we can say it anyway
But what we really want to say is love, love, love, love
Hail Your brother
Equal man
Hail Your sister
Shake a hand
It's a brand new day
And what we really want to say is love, love, love, love
Love is the doorstep into the light of day
We're gonna find us a way that we know all along
Love is a thing for a beggar or a King
And peace grows wings when love is the song
Repeat Chorus
