I'd Sing Hallelujah Lyrics

I left Wichita on a cracked western road
For Missouri and all of her caverns
To hide like an outlaw from what I have heard
There are some things in life I don't want to learn

But I am not Lewis or Clark; I am only a man
That gets lost in his questions like,
"Why doesn't love heal when we need it most?"
Will somebody give me the answer I need?

I'd sing hallelujah, if I could recall what it means
And just who I am praising
I don't think that I can express it in words,
So I let the melody do all my speaking

Just when I think I am safe and secure
There's that haunting again in my conscience
The ticking, the tapping of cold memory
Like a steel radiator that's run out of steam

We're pushin' and pullin', we hold ourselves down,
It starts with the small things
So I will keep trying to become the man that you need
And remember you taught me to sing

And I'd sing hallelujah, if I could recall what it means
And just who I am praising
I don't think that I can express it in words,
So I let the melody do all my speaking

Take what you need
I'm not taking it anymore
Oh, take what you need
I'm not taking it anymore

I'd sing hallelujah, if I could recall what it means
And just who I am praising
I don't think that I can express it in words,
So I let the melody do all my speaking
