Once love was all I had, But I knew I would not go mad Because if nothing else at least I had you But then he took you as you preach A place that is too high to reach Grasping up, I cried out Hallelujah The gates above once stood wide But that was before I let my pride Erase the path that lead me back to you I thought there was something more to win But all I did was lose our kin Now nothing will help, not even Hallelujah The thought of you is too much to bare Too late I realized how much I care But none of that means anything now to you I know we can’t go back in time, But if we could I’d keep you mine, I beg you to forgive me Hallelujah By now you’re living in the cloud But I will never escape the crowd They want to draw me down far from you And once I’m locked up down below There will be no way for you to hear me so To no one, I’ll be screaming Hallelujah Beloved I’m still chained to earth And there’s no hope for my rebirth But you don’t care what happens to me do you? Everyday I think of ending the pains, But I’m too afraid of the flames, Each second my heart still beats is Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah.
