Lyrics
Hallelujah Of My Own
@2014 Juliann Ankley, Michelle Chenard
pretty snow is fallen' on my town
lights a twinklin' all around
if i could get my heart to settle down
more sad news today
seems so many have lost their way
where's the peace on earth
where's the comfort when it hurts
where's the joy in our words
I need a hallelujah of my own
faith of this mother is shaken to the bone
tree is up home smells like pine
houses on my block all look like mine
oh somewhere else somebody's cryin' tonight
My heart goes out, cause that just don't seem right
Chorus
We are sisters and brothers
that's what we say
but I don't see it much these days
It's so easy
to look the other way
than to feel another's pain
