Thao & Mirah - Hallelujah lyrics

If you start to think that it's all over now That the work you have done has been lost somehow You wake up hungry in this world you've made So much so how could you be turned away Under thunder we drove through a black sky Paved with the threat we might die, oh we were so afraid You can throw your body up against the gla** but you can't stop the rain From pouring in once the cracks have been made But there's still time to sing Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Who could stay sleepin' when that garbage man came? He stormed up the street 'cause we called out his name With the sounds of us choking on the mess that's been made Dig us out from this slumber We've given salt, we've sweated off, done all this and more So heed when you hear us knockin' on your door We don't want to be the currency gets spent on war And then come home wondering what was it all for That's no way to sing Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah We been hard hard working We've got a plan Send home dollar bills And fistfuls of honey We've been working working for that money
