Verse 1

When the rain you want
Is a flood instead
And the roses bloom
But they’re not quite red
When I reach the edge
Of my bravery
I’ll still be singing at the banks
Of an unparted sea

Chorus

Sometimes the only way through it
Is a hallelujah
Sometimes the only thing to do is
Just to give it to Ya
And though my troubles shake me
I know they will never move Ya
Sometimes the only way through it
Is a hallelujah

Refrain

Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Verse 2

There’s what I want
And then there’s where I’m at
Every one step forward
It got me five steps back
And I cried I called
God knows I prayed
But most days faith is climbing
Up a mountain that stayed

Chorus

Sometimes the only way through it
Is a hallelujah
Sometimes the only thing to do is
Just to give it to Ya
And though my troubles shake me
I know they will never move Ya
Sometimes the only way through it
Is a hallelujah
