- hallelujah

here you go...


set me on fire and ask me if i even care
let me down, let me drown, then believe in my eyes when i stare
dream of oceans and dream of the place
where a person is free, i believe in such grace

i have seen what i need to erase, what is now
what is hate, what is greed, what defaces
this whole world we live in, i hope that you pray for forgiveness
i will when i know that i'm wrong but i'm not so i hope you bear witness

to truth, what is pure
what is good, what was meant to be all that's adored
hope you smile, i hope that you know in your mind
that in time this will all be memory lost, left behind

left behind like a promise, like me and my love
someone, somewhere, someday will believe in my blood
and they'll sit and they'll drink and play songs that i've written
and i will for maybe five minutes be undead and risen

the lead in your veins that does make you feel warm
what will weigh on your soul, every feeling that tore
thru the physical world and your unconcious thought
i am this, i am all that you've taken for naught

but that's fine, i have sun, i have sky
i have time, i have reasons, i've questions and why
oh, whatever you feel and you know is your whole
you should smile and you should believe in your soul
