I call on every poet bold
To drag the words in from the cold
Write down the thoughts that flow right to ya
The simple phrase that grabs your heart
The metaphor that tears apart
The lyric's breath that's crying Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
As simple as a sunny morn
As angry as a raging storm
The lightening bolt that goes right through ya
It doesn't matter what you write
As bright as sun, as dark as night
The lyrics will still scream oh Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
We talk of hate, we talk of love
The olive branch, the snow white dove
The soldier's voices echoing, "booyah"
We push ahead to claim the prize
The suffering blacks out their eyes
The hands reach up to symbol Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Still, in the end, the final line
The words re-read seem so sublime
The meaning seems to tear right through ya
'Cause in the end, if true you be
The words are meant from you to me
Then all of us will scream them, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
