love is not a victory march

We all have much to give thanks for today.
Some folks offer their thanks to a God that lives in the heavens. Other’s may be less strictly religious but no less spiritual in their gratitude.

But one thing we can surely all agree upon is a Hallelujah for every gift, for all the goodness, for a hope for a better tomorrow.
Believe in redemption.


And Happy Thanksgiving.
I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled King composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Baby I’ve been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew ya.
I've seen your flag on the marble arch and
Love is not a victory march
It's cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Did my best, it wasn't much
Couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I told the truth, I didn't come to fool ya
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Halleluuuu...
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
