when i wake up and the day begins
do i hold my breath and count to ten
or will it be three
we'll see, we'll see
it depends on which day of the week
so i sing out
i sing out loud
i'm just one tiny motherfucker singing proud
singing glory, glory
hallelujah
yeah, that'll do
yeah, that'll do

in the arms of a city
that holds no trace for the face or space for you or 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
they play it slow
they say there's ways to grow
but blow by blow
you see it all gets lost somewhere
see i already forgot
so sing out
sing out loud
you can be another motherfucker singing proud
singing glory, glory
remind me glory, glory, glory
hallelujah

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 way
so i sing out
i sing out loud
we can be 10,000 motherfuckers singing proud
sing out glory, glory, glory, glory
hallelujah
maybe that'll do
yeah, that'll do

i'll sing my stories for you
and you will sing for me too
and together we can make it through
they say when you sing your praying 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 six billion motherfuckers singing proud
oh, sing it loud
sing glory, glory, glory, glory
hallelujah
hallelujah
hallelujah
hallelujah
hallelujah
hallelujah
hallelujah
oh, say hallelujah
