I put the water in the pot

Hallelujah
my four walls
hallelujah
the roof and doors
hallelujah

I put the water 
in the pot
I set it on the stove
hallelujah

I breathe the air
and sit on the step
with no place to go
my life seems so easy 
in the blink of a eye
but you don't really know
what I've seen
or where I been
no you don't know
what I know

hallelujah
my four walls
hallelujah
the roof and doors 
hallelujah

turn wise
the faces all around me
redeem yourselves
men of ages
bring truth
to its rest with
love
step down off the throne 
of despotism and
dig your fingers in the dirt
hallelujah


mark no pages in books
quote no gospel
prove naught
look on with and step into
compassion
bring forth courage
hallelujah


I breathe the air
and sit on the step
with no place to go
my life seems so easy 
in the blink of a eye
but you don't really know
what I've seen
or where I been
no you don't know
what I know

so, I say
Hallelujah
my four walls
hallelujah the roof   
and doors.
