Hallelujah Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Calling out for a helping hand
A Hallelujah moment
I’d take my medicine if that would help
But my addiction turns heaven into hell
[Chorus]
So make a way now
I’m forsaken, Lord
I need Your forgiveness for my breakin’ heart
So make it rain down
Wash away it all
‘Cause the pain from the past is all I’ve lived so far
[Interlude]
I love you
Ayy, ayy, I love you
I love you
Yeah
[Verse 2]
Reaching out for a second chance
At this merry-go-round
Forget the last time I was lost
I swear that this time I won’t get off of it
[Chorus]
So make a way now
I’m forsaken, Lord
I need Your forgiveness for my aching heart
So make it rain down
What you waiting for?
‘Cause the pain from the past is all I’ve ever known
[Interlude]
Daddy, dada
[Bridge]
Tell me, is it too late to make amends for the mess I made?
Make amends for the mess I made
Tell me, is it too late to make amends for the hearts we break?
How many times do I have to pray?
Tell me, is it too late to make amends for the mess I made?
Resurrect me from the grave
Tell me, is it too late?
‘Cause each and every passing day
I’m learning how to celebrate
[Interlude]
What noise does a daddy make?
I love you
[Chorus]
So make a way now
I’m forsaken, Lord
I need Your forgiveness
So make it rain down
Wash away it all
‘Cause the pain from the past is all I’ve ever known
Summary of this Song Lyrics
______________________________________
James Arthur’s “Hallelujah” song explores themes of personal struggle, redemption, and the longing for forgiveness. The artist begins by expressing a deep need for help, feeling trapped by addiction and emotional pain that turns hopeful moments into despair. Despite trying to heal—symbolized by “taking medicine”—they admit that their issues are rooted deeper, making recovery more complex.
The chorus is a heartfelt plea for divine intervention and mercy, asking for a cleansing rain to wash away the burdens of the past. The repetition of the line “I’m forsaken, Lord” emphasizes feelings of abandonment and a desperate need for spiritual renewal. The interludes, including a tender “I love you” and a childlike voice saying “Daddy,” add emotional depth, suggesting family ties and innocence amidst turmoil.
In the second verse, the artist seeks a second chance, determined not to fall again. The bridge questions whether it’s too late to make things right, expressing remorse for past actions and broken relationships. Still, there’s a glimmer of hope—an emerging ability to celebrate life despite the pain.
Overall, the lyrics portray a powerful journey of confession, seeking forgiveness, and the hope for transformation through love, faith, and self-awareness.
