Intro:
Did you ever wake up in an hour of darkness,
on a boat, prevailing winds at your back.
Sunny, faded picture from your memory.
Jagged ridge for your path.
Were you lost inside the dream of another's choosing?
Did the rhythm of your days become your foe?
Were countless hours of pity like a blanket
that covered up the daylight from your soul?
(two down strokes)
Halleeeeeeeeeelujahhh, halleeeeeeeeeelujahhh, hallelujah.
Were you hopeless at the thought of ever loving?
Were you hounded by the curses in the dark?
Did you ever give until you just quit feeling;
a castaway with a bottled heart..
Did you ever think the worst was bound to happen,
the river rise and waters of the flood..
Yeah, Honesty, another name for Heartache,
and Fear, like starlight, shining from above.
(two down strokes)
Halleeeeeeeeeelujahhh, halleeeeeeeeeelujahhh, hallelujah.
[interlude]
(strum once in the final verse)
Are you in the eleventh hour of your desperation?
Can you dig through the tunnel and break through the night?
Are you ready for the loosening of your chains
that kept you in the shadows in your time..
Halleeeeeeeeeelujahhh, halleeeeeeeeeelujahhh, halleeeeeeeeeelujahhh,
(two down strokes)
halleeeeeeeeeelujahhh, hallelujah.
