Sing Hallelujah
Standing Strong: A Song of Resilience and Hope
Lyrics
We're into the thick, we're in the uncertain
We are facing challenges, in a state of uncertainty.
We're only floundering not drawing the curtain
We are struggling but not giving up.
Hope springs eternal, but so does fear
There is hope, but fear is also present.
When there lies a threat to all I hold dear
When what I cherish is at risk, fear arises.
My face is covered but my voice isn't silenced
My identity may be hidden, but my voice remains strong.
I can't turn my eyes from these visions of violence
I cannot ignore the disturbing visions around me.
We ache for those whose world has stopped turning
We empathize with those facing a standstill in life.
We ache for the time when Rome wasn't burning
We long for the time when things were not chaotic.
This is not how the story ends
The current situation is not the end of the story.
With these, I stand and sing Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
In defiance, I proclaim 'Hallelujah!'
We will not break, we will not bend
We will endure and not give in.
With my voice, my hands I sing Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Through my voice and actions, I celebrate 'Hallelujah!'
I can't plug my ears to keep from thinking
I cannot ignore the troubling thoughts in my mind.
Of the stories that tell me our ship is sinking
Aware of the sinking ship, facing a difficult reality.
It's a cracked jaw when I'm leaving the ring
Leaving a challenging situation is painful.
But there's still breath left in me to sing
Despite challenges, there is still strength to sing.
This is not how the story ends
This difficult phase is not the conclusion of the narrative.
With these, I stand and sing Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Defiantly, I declare 'Hallelujah!'
We will not break, we will not bend
We will remain resilient and unyielding.
With my voice, my hands I sing Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Celebrating 'Hallelujah!' with my voice and actions.
When I look in life's mirror what will I see
Reflecting on life, questioning what will be revealed.
Will it be grace and truth staring at me
Contemplating whether I'll see grace and truth in myself.
When the day comes that truly brings light
Awaiting a day that brings enlightenment.
Will I recognize the good fight
Will I recognize and acknowledge the righteous struggle?
This is not how the story ends
This challenging phase is not the final chapter.
With these, I stand and sing Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Defiantly, I assert 'Hallelujah!'
We will not break, we will not bend
We will endure and stand firm.
With my voice, my hands I sing Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Celebrating resilience with 'Hallelujah!'
