Leonard Cohen, Introducing "Hallelujah", Concert at Congress Hall in the Palace of Culture, Warsaw, Poland (22 March 1985)
“
I know there is an eye that watches all of us. There is a judgment that weighs everything we do.''' And before this great force, which is greater than any government, I stand in awe and I kneel in respect, and it is to this great judgment that I dedicate this next song, "Hallelujah".
