I've loved this song since I first encountered it, in the movie Shrek. For a while, the Support guru rahaeli had "the holy or the broken hallelujah" as her name, and that reminded me to go on a lyrics search...

Among the other burning tasks I need to do, I need to burn this, as well as a few others, for a sad songs disk... "Hallelujah", "American Pie", "Crying in the Rain", "Near Wild Heaven" ... what others?
