Hey baby, I see your path is rough
You’re clearing out some brush
What have you found?
Unsteady feet question the earth
Your eyes light up like sunbursts
The world, the world is hard
And the world is ours
I see you’ve found yourself a place to stand
Where the angle of the light makes things make more sense
And it’s not a phrase that I really use, but
All I can say is something like hallelujah
This mystery, a love I did not know
When I wore someone else’s clothes
I lost, I found
We’re dancing, me and the unknown
My eyes alight with wonder
The world, the world is hard
And the world is ours
My feet have found themselves a place to stand
Where the angle of the light makes things make more sense
And it’s not a phrase that I really use, but
All I can say is something like hallelujah
This vicious trail is lined with
Layers I’ve shed as I’ve climbed it
I see you over on your own mountain peak
Looking down at the same beauty as me
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
