Hallelujah Boulevard Lyrics - Ashes & Dust - Warren Haynes

Everything is shinin' and surrounded by light 

In this rows of halos, like stars in the night 

Sidewalks paved with diamonds up on Hallelujah Boulevard 

I saw it on the tv and it looked so clean 

Like some enchanted island like you stepped into a dream 

I see those lights a shinin' up on Hallelujah Boulevard 

Now soap-box preacher with his bus load of faith 

Fueled by his religion is gonna charge thru the gates 

Don't slow down til he reaches Hallelujah Boulevard 

We don't need a miracle we don't need nothin' but ourselves 

A boy walks the streets and he should be in school 

Gold chains around his neck but no golden rule 

Says: "he'll do what he has to do, to get to Hallelujah Boulevard" 

Homeless junkie knows he's home at last knows he'll never have to watch 

another rich white man pss and he see's those white lights shinin' up on Hallelujah Boulevard 

Is that a sword in your side or just a thorn? 

Do we tear ourselves apart just to know we are torn, so we can grow fore-lorn? 

Are we climbing a mountain that's not even there 

Building a rocket ship that runs on hopes and prayers 

Tryin' to leave this world behind in search of Hallelujah Boulevard
