you woke the morning up
running off the darkest night
the longest fight i’ve seen

here goes a chance i know
cashing in on all my chips
let all my ships come fly

these days, a little bit longer that the last
and all of your ways, a little bit stronger than the past
and your light, found my bottle in the night
kept me in this fight, gave me second life

and i won’t back down
i won’t turn around and around
and i won’t back down
doesn’t matter what comes crashing down
i’m still gonna stand my solid ground

you found me once and for all
i laid it down in the sinking ground
the hopeless undertow

singing out the gentle sound
rattling through my smoking screens
my broken dreams last night

hallelujah ripped through my veins
i heard the hammer drop
my blood in the rain

hallelujah came like a train
when all is lost
all is left to gain

hallelujah
