Well I heard your prayers from far below But down in hell, how could you know I listened, every word you said, I heard you But after this I’ll plead the fifth Before my fall, after your lift I swore I heard you say the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I know you’re strong, but I can’t explain I’ve seen you die over again Only you would still want to pray to me She tied me up where angels fall She made me deaf to all your calls And from my lips she drew our Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Righteous man, that’s what they said But still awake, you’d lie in bed And listen to the shadows, knife clutched tightly But when sleep came it could not kill The fears that on your skin would chill Those nights I wish I’d sang a Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
There was a time when I couldn’t say What truly had led me astray But now I understand what pushed me from grace It was your breath, your eyes, your face Your courage drove to the sticking place And there I fell all for your Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Maybe there’s a God above Through you he tried to teach me love A long and winding road that lead me to you Don’t think that I’ve abandoned hope Still I’ll hang onto this rope I won’t let go till I find our Hallelujah
