hallelujah
remember when God was real
and all the angels swirled around us
like Hallelujah,
you wrapped your arms around my soul,
held me, shaken to my core
and whispered Hallelujah
you finally got what you deserved
a beautiful yet broken girl
to maybe fill the emptiness inside ya,
but there was no room
trying to squeeze her in to
a bed shared with somebody else
and crystal meth,
and as the bed screeched out in her nightmares,
all she could remember was
Hallelujah
and how dare you, smash her broken,
be so careless with the heart of love.
you saw her faith and trust destroyed,
you picked it up, brushed it off
only to carry it up higher than before
and let it go, watch it drop
as you bowed your head and said out loud
Hallelujah
but it’s too late for simple words
to save what i guess was to be her fate,
falling towards a destiny
that couldn’t help but reiterate
a cold and a broken Hallelujah.
and so down she goes
trying hard not to give all the way up
on life, on love, on you
as she cries to the Lord above
for saving now
she pleads and then says silently
oh Lord it’s just me today, but however broken in my faith
i still have one more righteous Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah.
