Well I heard your prayers from far below
But down in hell, how could you know
I listened, every word you said, I heard ya
But after this, I 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 hang onto this rope
I won't let go till I find our Hallelujah

Hallelujah
