Hallelujah Lyrics
[Verse 1]
The world is an oyster, the bitter refrain
The Lord is my shepherd, I cannot stay
This blessed earth, this beautiful lamb
A new day that breaks the dawn
[Verse 2]
I am the tide, the oceans sing
I am the anchor, I hold the brass ring
I am the action, the deed of our king
I am the static goodnight
[Verse 3]
You make me to stand in the square on scene
And make my choice, decision to sing
And bring my Lord, what this may bring
I stand before you alone
[Verse 4]
I rallied and sang and shouted refrains
I'm blessed, turn the radio on
The air was calm
I held the bomb and the radio, the radio
[Chorus]
Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelujah
The world is an oyster, the bitter refrain
The Lord is my shepherd, I cannot stay
This blessed earth, this beautiful lamb
A new day that breaks the dawn
[Verse 2]
I am the tide, the oceans sing
I am the anchor, I hold the brass ring
I am the action, the deed of our king
I am the static goodnight
[Verse 3]
You make me to stand in the square on scene
And make my choice, decision to sing
And bring my Lord, what this may bring
I stand before you alone
[Verse 4]
I rallied and sang and shouted refrains
I'm blessed, turn the radio on
The air was calm
I held the bomb and the radio, the radio
[Chorus]
Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelujah
[Chorus]
Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelujah
Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelujah
Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelujah
Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelujah
Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelujah
Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelujah
Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelujah
Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelujah

Genius Annotation
The last song in Part Lies Part Heart Part Truth Part Garbage, released by R.E.M. on November 11th 2011, Hallelujah stand also as the last original song the group put on an album. As it stands, it may well be a summation and a coda of the whole band’s artistic journey. A kind of a goodbye with a wink to the other and most famous song with the same title: Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah.
