  • I met two angels but they were in disguise
    Took one look to realize
    Tell 'em anything and they will sympathize
    These arms hold me tight
    Old fears, helped to ease them in my mind
    New tears say that they will dry in time

    Why me? How'd I get this hallelujah?
    Hallelujah

    Laughing together like our thoughts are harmonized
    Been that way since '95
    Give me direction when it is hard to fight
    Three roads, one light
    Now and then I can lean my back to yours
    Travelin' like our feet don't touch the floor

    Why me? How'd I get this hallelujah?
    Hallelujah, hallelujah
    Why me? How'd I get this hallelujah?

    I had a best friend but she has come to pass
    One I wish I could see now
    You always remind me that memories will last
    These arms reach out
    You were there to protect me like a shield
    Long hair running with me through the field
    Everywhere you've been with me all along

    Why me? How'd I get this hallelujah?
    Why me? How'd I get this hallelujah?
    Why me? How'd I get this hallelujah?
