The Broken Hallelujah

by Paul “Gully” Richards

I’ve been thinking 
And I
I’ve been dreaming 
And I
I’ve been wondering 
About the
Broken Hallelujah 
 
I’ve been searching 
And I
I’ve been reaching 
And I
I’ve been seeking 
For the
Broken Hallelujah 
 
I’ve been loving 
And I
I’ve been hating 
And I
I’ve been frozen 
About the 
Broken Hallelujah 
 
I’ve been longing 
And I
I’ve been hoping
But I
I’ve been forgoing
The
Broken Hallelujah 
 
I’ve been thinking 
And I
I haven’t been drinking 
But I 
I’m gonna start speaking 
About the 
Broken Hallelujah
