Hallelujah

HALLELUJAH - Written by Carroll Bryant


We want all that everyone else has
We want most what we can't possess 
Just like a cry that turns into a laugh
We aren't content to be second best

The thing we keep looking for is knowledge of life
Locked behind closed doors and guarded with a knife
Some travel so far as to beg for a goal
Willing to give up the precious of souls

Hallelujah - Hallelujah we say
Hallelujah - Hallelujah we pray
Hallelujah - Hallelujah we say
Hallelujah - Hallelujah we pray

Like Sheba who visited the king who had wisdom
Wasn't content, had to see for herself
We long for the taste of sweeter or bitter
In the end the story takes care of itself

Hallelujah - Hallelujah we say
Hallelujah - Hallelujah we pray
Hallelujah - Hallelujah we say
Hallelujah - Hallelujah we pray

The master, the beggar, and runaway children
Streaking across the hot desert sand
The leaders, the loners, like Noah and Moses
Top of the ladder on his master plan

The beast of the demon is someone's religion
D before evil is fame for the blame 
No one will say it, but oh, won't they pray it
Beginners or sinners, they all know his name

Hallelujah - Hallelujah we say
Hallelujah - Hallelujah we pray
Hallelujah - Hallelujah we say
Hallelujah - Hallelujah we pray
