Lyrics
Verse 1
What am I gonna sing with no voice, a melody
When my hope is outta reach
What am I gonna write when my words never rhyme
And I'm running out of time
Pre-Chorus
In death and in life
In darkness in light
Oh You are the reason why
Chorus
I say Alle, Alle
Every tribe and every tongue
Alle, Alle
Come alive at the beat of the drum
Alle, Alle
Can you hear the people sing along
Alle, Alle
With a thousand angels and all the nations now as one shout it
Post-Chorus
Alle alle alle alle alleluia
Alle alle
Alle alle alle alle alleluia
Alle alle

Can you hear the people sing along

With a thousand angels and all the nations now as one shout it

Meaning & Inspiration
Alle turns a cry of praise into the answer for moments when hope, voice, and words seem exhausted. The opening questions acknowledge human limitation, but the refrain answers by naming God as the reason for singing in both darkness and light, death and life. Its repeated alleluia gathers every tribe and tongue into one chorus, shifting the focus from private struggle to worldwide worship. Images of drums, angels, and nations give that praise the scale of a great assembly.
The song’s language closely echoes Revelation 7, where a multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language worships before God. Its call for living voices and instruments also reflects Psalm 150, with praise rising through breath and music. The repeated phrase about feeling praise in life, soul, and bones presents worship as an embodied response. Rather than allowing weakness to end the song, the lyric makes praise its answer and imagines creation joined in a single declaration of alleluia.
