Hallelujahs

In a storm out at sea,
In the calm deep within,
In a pageantry of stars across the sky,
In the sun's majesty,
In the moon's graceful spin,
In the here and now, in the sweet by and by...

Hallelujahs in the morning,
Hallelujahs late at night:
Hallelujahs are adorning
All our hopes with boundless light.
Hallelujahs for a new day,
Hallelujahs bold and bright,
Hallelujahs through the cold gray,
Clearly seen and out of sight.

In the fragrance after rain,
In the seedlings of the earth,
In the sweet air beyond our temporal woes,
In an ancient refrain,
In its gladsome rebirth,
In goodbyes that foretell an array of hellos...

Hallelujahs in the morning,
Hallelujahs late at night:
Hallelujahs are adorning
All our hopes with boundless light.
Hallelujahs for a new day,
Hallelujahs bold and bright,
Hallelujahs through the cold gray,
Clearly seen and out of sight.

Over walls of fear they climb;
Through clouds of dark uncertainty they rise;
Undaunted by space and time,
They soar beyond our vagrant, wind-borne sighs.

[instrumental interlude]

Hallelujahs in the morning,
Hallelujahs late at night:
Hallelujahs are adorning
All our hopes with boundless light.
Hallelujahs for a new day,
Hallelujahs bold and bright,
Hallelujahs through the cold gray,
Clearly seen and out of sight.

[Repeat, with optional fade]
