You packed your bags and shut the door
You crossed the sea to fight a war
You didn't know just what would happen to ya?
Stepped in the dirt, boots on the ground
And gunfire was the only sound
And to yourself you whispered "Hallelujah"!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Every day and every night
You walk the walk, you fight the fight
You never saw the end in sight now did ya?
The days awash in a haze of red
The blood, the mud, too many dead
Your weary soul was crying "Hallelujah"!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Too late to help, you hear a shot
You know you're in a deadly spot
You never thought this day would come now did ya?
Your brother falls down to the ground
The enemy is all around
From your lips you scream a "Hallelujah"!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You fought the fight till it was done
You have the strength to carry on
You thought it'd be much better back home did ya?
You try each day, keep pushing through
But the battle lives inside of you
It's a cold and it's a broken "Hallelujah"!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
