We just go through the motions,
Pretend to keep the peace,
We could win every award acting in our make-believe,
I thought I’d die when you left me,
I was sure we were meant to be,
I would have held on forever to nothing,
But when you left I got to be free.

I wanna thank you,
For closing the door,
I wanna thank you,
I'm loving me more,
Thank you, thank you.

Your zodiac told you it’s the time to retreat,
Though I don't usually care what the stars say,
This time I have to agree,
Mother Time is a healer but I don't need her today,
I got the antidote right here inside me,
Thank you for going away.

I wanna thank you, for closing the door,
I wanna thank you, I'm loving me more,
I wanna thank you, for setting me free for setting me free.

What do I wanna do?
What do I wanna say?
Where do I wanna go?
I'll do it today.

I wanna thank you, for closing the door,
I wanna thank you, I'm loving me more,
I wanna thank you, for setting me free,
I wanna thank you, for letting me be.

I wanna thank you, for closing the door,
I wanna thank you, I'm loving me more,
I wanna thank you, I wanna thank you.

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
A long way from home

Sometimes I feel like freedom is near

Sometimes I feel like freedom is near

Sometimes I feel like freedom is near

And I’m a long way from home

Sometimes I feel like I’m almost home
Sometimes I feel like I’m almost home
Sometimes I feel like I’m almost home
Way up in that heavenly land

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child

Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
A long way from home

Everybody's preaching to their sons Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Keep our sisters safe, they're on the run Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
And tell your brothers they can sing out loud Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Till all our sisters are out and proud Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

Hallelujah,
On your feet, get heard, you gotta feel it,
Hallelujah,
Say it loud.

When love descends I'll clap my hands,
When you give the nurse more G's to spend,
In germville they got hooked for their roll got the frontlines living on the dole,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

Hallelujah,
On your feet, get heard, you gotta feel it,
Hallelujah,
Say it loud, get down.

Don't believe fish wrapper tales Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
When they wanna put your mind in a jail Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
They wrap their tails around your leg Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Kiss that snake with a dagger in my hand Hallelujah, Hallelujah.

Hallelujah,
Meet me at the midnight train before I lay my body down.

Hallelujah, sing it with me,
Hallelujah, everybody, we're in this thing together, man!
Hallelujah, alright everybody,
Come on gotta say it loud!
Hallelujah, oh take it!

Hallelujah,
Say it loud, come on,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Get up, that's right,
Hallelujah,
Lord have mercy,
I can't fight no more,
Hallelujah, ooh yeah, ah well.
