Hallelujah!

by declan-mills

It’s a little bit of something 
It’s a little bit of somewhere
 It’s a little bit of someone
 Singing ‘Hallelujah, Take me there.’ There’s a little boy waitin’ And he’s holding on tight. His open eyelids failin’ Him before the day’s first light. There’s three men waitin’ They’re walking all night. By the end of the page They’re dazed, praising what’s Before their eyes. A young woman is wakin’ 
Each night with a fright.
 Her room she’s pacin’
 Facing fears about her own little life. There’s an old man waitin’.
 Pots o’ tea all night.
 He’s alone in the country
 Without company, or sugar or sight. There’s a little bit of anger There’s a little bit of pain There’s a little bit of loving Smoothing over us all And bringing us back again It’s a little bit of something
 It’s a little bit of somewhere 
It’s a little bit of someone
 Singing ‘Hallelujah, Take me there.’
