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 soldiers 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 hears are better than a hallelujah A woman holding on for life a dying man giving up the frght 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 hears 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 hears 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 hears are better than a hallelujah
