1
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!, Hallelujah!
2
From the canyons of the mind,
3
We wander on and stumble blindly
4
Through the often-tangled maze
5
Of starless nights and sunless days,
6
While asking for some kind of clue
7
Or road to lead us to the truth,
8
But who will answer?
9
Side by side two people stand,
10
Together vowing, hand-in-hand
11
That love's imbedded in their hearts,
12
But soon an empty feeling starts
13
To overwhelm their hollow lives,
14
And when they seek the hows and whys,
15
Who will answer?
16
On a strange and distant hill,
17
A young man's lying very still.
18
His arms will never hold his child,
19
Because a bullet running wild
20
Has struck him down. And now we cry,
21
"Dear God, Oh, why, oh, why?"
22
But who will answer?
23
High upon a lonely ledge,
24
A figure teeters near the edge,
25
And jeering crowds collect below
26
To egg him on with, "Go, man, go!"
27
But who will ask what led him
28
To his private day of doom,
29
And who will answer?
30
[Chorus:]
31
If the soul is darkened
32
By a fear it cannot name,
33
If the mind is baffled
34
When the rules don't fit the game,
35
Who will answer? Who will answer? Who will answer?
36
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!, Hallelujah!
37
In the rooms of dark and shades,
38
The scent of sandalwood pervades.
39
The colored thoughts in muddled heads
40
Reclining in the rumpled beds
41
Of unmade dreams that can't come true,
42
And when we ask what we should do,
43
Who... Who will answer?
44
'Neath the spreading mushroom tree,
45
The world revolves in apathy
46
As overhead, a row of specks
47
Roars on, drowned out by discotheques,
48
And if a secret button's pressed
49
Because one man has been outguessed,
50
Who will answer?
51
Is our hope in walnut shells
52
Worn 'round the neck with temple bells,
53
Or deep within some cloistered walls
54
Where hooded figures pray in halls?
55
Or crumbled books on dusty shelves,
56
Or in our stars, or in ourselves,
57
Who will answer?
58
(Repeat Chorus Below)
59
If the soul is darkened
60
By a fear it cannot name,
61
If the mind is baffled
62
When the rules don't fit the game,
63
Who will answer? Who will answer? Who will answer?
64
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!, Hallelujah!
