Song for Ukraine, 2022. I know that I'm more known for funnier songs, but with recent events, it's hard to find humour. I played with the lyrics of Leonard Cohen's 'Hallelujah' yesterday - all about trying to find joy in the midst of all this, then recorded it with my guitar this morning. Ukraine is very much in my heart at this time. This song is for all unwittingly caught in the conflict there.
Also remembering the very many in Russia who want nothing to do with this, including those who are putting their own lives in danger through protesting. And not forgetting victims of war and unrest around the world today - you are not forgotten.
Lyrics:
Now we dream of times we had before
We all are tired, we can’t take more
And you don’t care for hollow comfort, do you?
We’re sick of this, the pandemic
Disasters, war - it’s lunatic
Too crushed to feel the joy of hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Faith isn’t hard when life is well
It’s brittle when you’re facing hell
And I can’t always be lighthearted for you
But know that I am at your side
More as a shoulder than a guide
Even though we can’t voice a hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
With confidence all but destroyed
I fling a prayer into the void
To recreate when happiness flowed through you
But despite the news we hear tonight
And if tomorrow brings no light
I’ll hold on to the hope of hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
