Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah...

They are cold.  They are hungry.
 Warm them, feed them, hold the holy
  gift of pristine water to their parched lips.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

Reach to the depths of your immortal soul.
  Find there the treasures gifted your mortal being.
  Shower the world with those gifts..with wild abandon.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

I don't know the tune, but I feel the rhythym.
  I don't know words, yet they appear on the page.
  I can't see the path, but each footfall illumines the next step.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

Wretched, hopeless, frightened, alone.
  The heaviness of our hearts draws us ever
  more deeply into the dark, the holy dark, Hallelujah.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

Wealth beyond measure hiding empty hearts.
  The ravenous, bottomless abyss of earthly measures
  turning souls stone cold, collapsing life in on itself, laughing.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

The dark night of the soul.
  Humankind, the scourge upon the earth.
  People, the answer, the Hallelujah, the hope.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
