Hallelujah

[escorial]

i would love to believe
find you crossing my path
stand by my side when i'm alone
walk with me on my journey
follow me down this long road

when i see sunset i see only sky
in nature i see only miles to walk
a swinging cross on a windscreen
bible unread in a hotel room
preacher shouting in the street

now the days are long
the night fades into daylight
my body is strong
the soul is weak
lost in every place i visit

was there a time i did believe
when i was a kid in the street
schooldays and morning mass
religious education class
i listened and wondered

time has passed
life's journey as set me aside
ive cried and wished so hard
that you were really there
I often sing quietly to hallelujah
