My Own Hallelujah

I've been running far and wide
Trying to keep up with the tide.
But slowly, surely, i have lost my way.

So i tried to swim my troubles out,
But i started to drown and scream and shout.
Now my voice is a forgotten hallelujah.

And still i tried to win the war
I built a city on this shore.
So the ocean came and knocked it down.

I climbed the mountain and tried to escape
But god saw through my plan's poor shape.
He pushed and pulled me till i saw the ground.

Never have i questioned fate
But lately fate seems too great
For simple me to ever beat it out.

I will die a humble death.
No ceremony and hushed, sad breaths.
Just me and soil screaming hallelujah.

So thank you love and thank you life
For teaching me the wrongs and rights.
Good bye and promise me a hallelujah.
