R.E.M. — Hallelujah

[Verse 1] The world is an oyster, the bitter refrain The Lord is my shepherd, I cannot stay This blessed earth, this beautiful lamb A new day that breaks the dawn [Verse 2] I am the tide, the oceans sing I am the anchor, I hold the brass ring I am the action, the deed of our king I am the static goodnight [Verse 3] You make me to stand in the square on scene And make my choice, decision to sing And bring my Lord, what this may bring I stand before you alone [Verse 4] I rallied and sang and shouted refrains I'm blessed, turn the radio on The air was calm I held the bomb and the radio, the radio [Chorus] Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelujah [Chorus] Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelujah Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelujah Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelujah Hallelu, Hallelu, Hallelujah
