Standard (EADGBE)
When I wake up,
and the day begins,
Bflat
do I hold my breath
and count to ten?
Or will it be three?
We'll see, we'll see.
Bflat
It depends on which day of the week.
(repeat progression)
And I sing out,
I sing out loud.
I'm just one
motherfucker singing proud.
Singing glory,
Glory,
Hallelujah.
Yeah, that'll do.
Yeah, that'll do.
In the arms of a city
that holds no space
for the friendly faces
of you and me
Go make a life,
not a living.
Singing glory,
Glory,
Hallelujah.
Yeah, that'll do.
There's things to know,
and so we're told.
But the days
keep rolling on so painfully playing slow.
And room to grow,
but blow by blow,
Ya see, i always gets lost somewhere.
See, I already forgot.
To sing out,
I wanna sing out loud.
You should be another
mother fucker
singing proud.
Sing out glory,
Glory,
Remind me, glory, glory, glory, hallelu...
We should all keep pretending,
that our dreams are patent pending,
You should see
some of the scenes that I've seen.
And I know love,
'cause I've flown above
and beyond,
but it's still too long of a wait.
That's why I sing out,
I sing out loud,
We should be 10,000 mother fuckers singing out,
Sing out glory, glory, glory, glory, hallelu..
Yea, that'll do,
Yea, that'll do.
I'll sing my story for you,
and you will sing for me, too,
and together,
we can make it through.
They say,
"When you sing you're prayin' twice."
Don't that sound nice?
So, rise up,
come on, and give it a try.
So sing out,
Sing out loud,
We can be 6 billion mother fuckers singing proud,
Oh, sing it loud,
Sing glory,
Glory, glory, glory,
Hallelu... Hallelu... Hallelu...
Hal... Hal... Hallelu... Hallelu... jah...
Hallelujah...
Hallelu...
Oh, say hallelu.
