I often sit

There in the sea

And dream dreams

And hope hopes

And wish wishes

And lately

As I listen to the wind song

As it dances a beautiful dance for me

But these moments

Never seem to last too long

Because after the hopes

The dreams, and the wishes

You got the singin' of the dancin' wind

After you and me

And a stolen moment of happines

After a glimpse

Of the timeless, natural universe

Moving in effortless effervesce

Starts when rhythm

Yeah

Moving in effortless effervesce

Starts when beauty

Comes, comes the reality of today

Grinning it's all-knowing, fiendish grin

Knowing everything I say

Everything I feel

Everything I think

Every gesture I make today, today

Pressing his ugly face against mine

Staring at me with lifeless eyes

Crumbling away all memories of yesterday's dreams

Crumbling away

Crumbling hopes and destroying wishes

Destroying dreams

Can't even get close to nobody no more

No matter how much you try

You can't get close to nobody no more

Because today is a killer

And only you can save us Lord

Only you can save us Lord

I never dreamed

I certainly never hoped

That one day

I'd be screamin'

'Bout something my mother told me I needed

In the beginnin'

In the beginnin'

In the beginnin'

Yes Lord

Ooh my Lord (Hallelujah)

Oh my Lord (Hallelujah)

Oh my Lord (Hallelujah)

Oh my Sweet Lord (Hallelujah)

I really wanna see you (Hallelujah)

I really wanna be with you (Hallelujah)

I really wanna see you (Hallelujah)

But it takes so long my Lord (Hallelujah)

Oh my Lord(Hallelujah)

Oh my Lord (Hallelujah)

My sweet Lord (Hallelujah)

I really wanna see ya (Hallelujah)

I've got to see you (Hallelujah)

I really wanna see ya (Hallelujah)

But it takes so long, my Lord (Hallelujah)

Oh my Lord (Hallelujah)

Oh my Lord (Hallelujah)

My sweet Lord (Hallelujah)

Oh my Lord (Hallelujah)

My Hallelujah (Hallelujah)

Hallelujah (Hallelujah)

Hallelujah (Hallelujah)

Takes so long, my Lord

Oh Lord, takes so long

Hope it doesn't take too long this time

Cause I need to be with you

I need to be with you, Lord

Today

Today

Today

Today

Today, who are you Lord

You are a killer (Hallelujah)
