10,000 motherfuckers

when i wake up

and the day begins

do i hold my breath?

and count to ten?

no

will it be three?

we'll see

we'll see

it depends on which day of the week

that i sing out

sing out loud

i'm just one motherfucker singing proud

singing glory

glory

hallelu-jah

and yeah that'll do

that'll do

in the arms of a city

it holds no space for the friendly faces of you and me

go make a life

not a living

singing glory

glory

glory

hallelu

yeah hallelu-jah

there's things to know

so i'm told

but the days they keep rollin' on so painfully playin' slow

and no room to grow

but blow by blow

you see

i always get lost somewhere

see

i already forgot

to sing out

i wanna sing out loud

you should be another motherfucker singing proud

sing out glory

remind me of the glory

hallelu

ha- hallelu

that'll do

we should all keep pretending that our dreams are patent pending

you should see some of the scenes that i've seen

and i know love cause i've flown above it

and beyond it

but it's still too long of a wait

that's why i sing out

sing out loud

we should be ten thousand motherfuckers singing out

oh

sing out glory

glory

glory

glory

glory

glory

glory

hallelu

hallelu

ha- ha- ah ha- ah ah-le-lu

ooh-ooh

i'll sing my story for you

and you'll sing for me too

and together

we will make it through

they say when you sing

you're praying twice

don't that sound nice?

so

rise up

come on and give it a try

to sing out

just sing out loud

we could be six billion motherfuckers singing proud

why not sing glory?

glory

glory

hallelu

ha-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-le-lu

ooh-ooh-ooh

hallelujah

this is no ordinary world

we need extraordinary glory

hallelu

yeah

that'll do

yeah

that'll do

sing oh

sing hallelu.
