Intro
Did you ever wake up in an hour of d arkness,
on a boat, prevailing winds at your back.
Sunny, faded picture from your m emory.
Jagged ridge for your p ath.
Were you lost inside the dream of another's ch oosing?
Did the rhythm of your days become your f oe?
Were countless hours of pity like a b lanket
that covered up the daylight from your s oul?
Halleeeeeeeeeelujahhh , halleeeeeeeeeelujahhh, hallelujah.
Were you hopeless at the thought of ever lov ing?
Were you hounded by the curses in the da rk?
Did you ever give until you just quit fe eling;
a castaway with a bottled he art..
Did you ever think the worst was bound to ha ppen,
the river rise and waters of the fl ood..
Yeah, Honesty, another name for Hea rtache,
and Fear, like starlight, shining from abo ve.
Halleeeeeeeeeelujahhh , halleeeeeeeeeelujahhh, hallelujah.
Interlude
(strum once in the final verse)
Are you in the eleventh hour of your de speration?
Can you dig through the tunnel and break through the ni ght?
Are you ready for the loosening of your chains
that kept you in the shadows in your ti me..
Halleeeeeeeeeelujahhh, hal leeeeeeeeeelujahhh, halleeeeeeeeeelujahhh,
(two down strokes)
halleeeeeeeeeelujahhh, hallelujah.
