Ten Years of Hallelujah

[intro]
Oh-oh, ten years...
Oh-oh, sing it with me

[verse]
Old church basement, folding chairs, a space heater's hum,
Somebody said "let's try a verse" — and look what we've become.
We learned each other's keys, who'd crack and hit it high,
Sunday after Sunday, we taught these walls to fly.

[chorus]
Ten years of hallelujah, ten years of lifting roofs,
Ten years of borrowed hymnals and undeniable proof
That when we opened our mouths, something opened up in us —
Ten years of hallelujah, Lord, the best's still ahead of us.

[verse]
We've buried friends we loved, we've sung at weddings too,
Harmonized through hospital halls when nobody knew what to do.
The choir robes are faded, the alto's lost her sheet,
But she remembers every word — some songs don't leave your feet.

[chorus]
Ten years of hallelujah, ten years of lifting roofs,
Ten years of borrowed hymnals and undeniable proof
That when we opened our mouths, something opened up in us —
Ten years of hallelujah, Lord, the best's still ahead of us.

[bridge]
Clap your hands if you were there in the rain,
If you kept the count when the power went out again —
Every cracked high note, every imperfect chord,
God was listening to the love, not the record deal, y'all.

[chorus]
Ten years of hallelujah, ten years of lifting roofs,
Ten years of borrowed hymnals and undeniable proof
That when we opened our mouths, something opened up in us —
Ten years of hallelujah, and the best is still ahead of us.

[outro]
Oh-oh, ten years...
Keep singing, keep singing — the best is still ahead.
