Better Than A Hallelujah
God loves a lullaby
In a mother's tears in the dead of night
Better than a hallelujah sometimes
God loves a drunkard's cry
The soldier's plea not to let him die
Better than a hallelujah sometimes
We pour out our miseries
God just hears a melody
Beautiful the mess we are
The honest cries, of breaking hearts
Are better than a hallelujah

A woman holding on for life
A dying man giving up the fight
Are better than a hallelujah sometimes
Tears of shame for what's been done
The silence when the words won't come
Are better than a hallelujah sometimes
We pour out our miseries
God just hears a melody
Beautiful the mess we are
The honest cries, of breaking hearts
Are better than a hallelujah
Better than a church bell ringing
Better than a choir singing out
Singing out
We pour out our miseries
God just hears a melody
Beautiful the mess we are
The honest cries, of breaking hearts
Are better than a hallelujah

We pour out our miseries
God just hears a melody
Beautiful the mess we are
The honest cries, of breaking hearts
Are better than a hallelujah
(Better than a hallelujah sometimes)
Better than a hallelujah
(Better than a hallelujah sometimes)
