Hallelujah - Leonard Cohen’s song for Ukraine with new lyrics, 2022

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 Share this video with a friend: I have MANY more songs on my channel - come for a visit and enjoy!
