Hallelujah Variations

To the tune of \"Hallelujah\" written by Leonard Cohen

 

Now I wanna write stuff that\'s so profound, 

That walls would move and the earth turn around, 

But everything from my mouth sounds stupid, yeah 

Well the winning songs can move along; 

Look out! Here comes a song, 

It\'s not much, only words of hallelujah 

 

hallelujah, hallelujah

hallelujah, hallelujah

 

Now along the rivers and through the trees 

And past the meadows and out at sea 

Let the sunshine and the breeze renew ya 

And I know you\'ve had a difficult day 

Just let it all fade away 

And listen to that quiet hallelujah...... 

 

hallelujah, hallelujah,

hallelujah, hallelujah

 

And late at night under the sky, 

You hold your breath, try not to cry 

The world, it\'s just so cruel, it will undo ya 

And those glimpses of glory from above 

You know they\'re from the holy dove  

There\'s a reason that people sing out hallelujah 

 

hallelujah, hallelujah

hallelujah, hallelujah

 

Well yesterday seems so far away 

I\'ve lived till now so you can hear me say 

That during it all, I didn\'t have a clue yeah

That life is more than just a word 

But in the midst it feels absurd  

To hear them all sing out hallelujah 

 

hallelujah, hallelujah

hallelujah, hallelujah
