Ella Fitzgerald — Hallelujah! lyrics

Lyrics

I was on the run
But I was not running
So many out of boats
Drift away at sea
And when your time is done
Even lions lose their cunning
You will say with everything Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
That’s the sound the joyous sound Hallelujah
I woke from a dream
But I was not dreaming
Blessed was the voice
Which sang inside of me There is one way out
Like the mighty river gleaming
She finds a sea eventually Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
That’s the sound the joyous sound Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
That’s the sound of common ground Hallelujah
Now I have heard some men
Speaking lies as they were grinning
For sake a loyal friend
Just to save their own
But closer to the end
Is nearer the beginning
And what goes down
Comes back around Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
That’s the sound the joyous sound Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
That’s the sound the joyous sound Hallelujah
Mmmmhhmmm oh Alright hey now. yeah
Hallelujah (all right) Hallelujah
That’s the sound the joyous sound Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah
That’s the sound the joyous sound Hallelujah
Hallelujah (my brother) Hallelujah
Hallelujah (my child)
That’s the sound the joyous sound Hallelujah (oh look out now)
Oh go and go Oh lord
Alright
Hallelujah (alright)
Hallelujah
That’s the sound the joyous sound Hallelujah
That’s the sound the joyous sound oh oh yeah
