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

I want this song played at my funeral.... Not that I plan on dying for decades to come, but still. I love how some cultures don't necessarily see death as a bad thing. Funerals should be a celebration of life.
