God loves a (lullaby )
In a mother's (tears ) in the dead of (night )
Better than a Hallelujah sometimes
God loves the drunkard's (cry )
The soldier's (plea ) not to let him die
Better than a Hallelujah sometimes
We pour out our (miseries )
God just hears a (melody )
Beautiful, the (mess ) we are
The honest (cries ) of breaking hearts
Are better than a Hallelujah
The woman holding on for (life )
The dying man giving up the ( fight)
Are better than a Hallelujah sometimes
The (tears ) of shame for what's been done
The ( silence ) when the words won't come
Are better than a Hallelujah sometimes
We pour out our (miseries )
God just hears a (melody )
Beautiful, the (mess ) we are
The honest ( cries ) of breaking hearts
Are better than a Hallelujah
Better than a (church ) bell ringing
Better than a (crier ) singing out, singing out
We pour out our (miseries )
God just hears a (melody )
Beautiful, the (mess ) we are
The honest ( cries ) of breaking hearts
Are better than a Hallelujah
We pour out our (miseries )
God just hears a (melody )
Beautiful, the (mess ) we are
The honest ( cries ) of breaking hearts
Are better than a Hallelujah
(Better than a Hallelujah sometimes)
Better than a Hallelujah
(Better than a Hallelujah sometimes)
