Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Say Hallelujah
Throw up your hands
The bucket is kicked
The body is gone
[Verse 2]
Close your eyes
And bow your head
To rest your soul
And to praise the dead
[Verse 3]
Say Hallelujah
Throw up your hands
The bucket is kicked
The body is gone
[Verse 4]
Dry your eyes
And stand upright
Put a smile on your face
He wouldn't want us to cry
[Verse 5]
The sun will rise
The stars will shine
Turnin' day to dusk
And night to dawn
We'll pass on
But until that time
[Verse 6]
Say Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Say Hallelujah
Hallelujah
[Verse 7]
Say Hallelujah
Throw up your hands
The bucket is kicked
The body is gone
[Verse 8]
Have mercy
It's a wonderful life
Eternal rest for the weary
Mourners party tonight
[Verse 9]
Say Hallelujah
Throw up your hands
The bucket is kicked
The body is gone
[Verse 10]
Wave your hands
But don't say goodbye
We're all gonna meet you
On the other side
