Lyrics of Better than a hallelujah

God loves a lullaby
In a mother's tears in the dead of night
Better than a hallelujah sometimes

God loves the drunkard's cry
The soldier's 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 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 melody
Beautiful, the mess we are
The honest cries of breaking hearts
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 hearts
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 hearts
Are better than a hallelujah

(better than a hallelujah sometimes)
Better than a hallelujah
(better than a hallelujah sometimes)
