God loves the lullaby
In a parent's tears in the dead of night
Better than a Hallelujah sometimes.
God hears each broken cry,
The fighter's plea not to let him die
Better than a Hallelujah sometimes.
We pour out our miseries
God just hears a memory
Beautiful the mess we are
The honest cries of breaking hearts
Are better than a Hallelujah.
The woman holding on for life,
The dying man giving up the fight
Are better than a Hallelujah sometimes
The 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 memory
Beautiful the mess we are
The honest cries of breaking hearts
Are better than a Hallelujah.
Better than an old bell ringing,
Better than a choir singing out, singing out.
We pour out our miseries
God just hears a memory
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 memory
Beautiful the mess we are
The honest cries of breaking hearts
Are better than a Hallelujah.
