Hallelujah

The other day I found myself up on the corner
I thought I'd run into a friend of mine
Ended up that he was just a stranger
I said hello as he passed me by

But then he turned and put a gun to my head
He said, "My friend, I'm gonna rob you blind"
I said, "You must be down on your luck
I'm out of money, and I'm all out of time"

He pulled the trigger and I fell to my knees
My spirit left and then my body went cold
I'm lookin' down upon the lights of the city
I feel alive, but I'm dead and gone

Ain't no more walkin' down the side of the road
Ain't no more sleepin' on the edge of a frown
Ain't no more favors from someone I don't know
'Cause there ain't nobody hear me, nobody's around

Hallelujah, I'm comin' home
Hallelujah, he's dead and gone
Hallelujah, something's wrong
Hallelujah

So tell me now if your singin' can bring me
Another day with my feet on the ground
I miss livin' and livin' misses me
I miss it so much that I'm holdin' me down

For all the things that I never could change
For all the reasons that I never understood and why
I feel alone, baby, I'm dead and gone, baby
There's somethin' wrong 'cause you know I still feel alive
My train is rollin' down the line, and I'm waitin'
'Til it brings me to dream of holdin' you up in my eyes

Oh, feel my love, honey, from up above, honey
Oh, don't give up on me 'cause I'm comin' down
I'm not a one-nighter, I ain't a flat liner
I've everything in between the harmony, singin' loud

Hallelujah, I'm comin' home
Hallelujah, he's dead and gone
Hallelujah, something's wrong
Hallelujah, it's just a song

The other day I found myself up on the corner
I thought I'd run into a friend of mine
