Hallelujah
Now I've heard there was a secret chordThat David played, and it pleased the LordBut you don't really care for music, do you?It goes like thisThe fourth, the fifthThe minor fall, the major liftThe baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, Hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proofYou saw her bathing on the roofHer beauty and the moonlight overthrew youShe tied youTo a kitchen chairShe broke your throne, and she cut your hairAnd from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, Hallelujah
Baby I have been here beforeI know this room, I've walked this floorI used to live alone before I knew you.I've seen your flagOn the marble archLove is not a victory marchIt's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, Hallelujah
There was a time you let me knowWhat's really going on belowBut now you never show it to me, do you?I remember whenI moved in youThe holy dove was moving tooAnd every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God aboveBut all I ever learned from loveWas how to shoot at someone who outdrew youAnd it's not a cryYou can hear at nightIt's not somebody who's seen the lightIt's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, Hallelujah
You say I took the name in vainI don't even know the nameBut if I did, well really, what's it to you?There's a blaze of lightIn every wordIt doesn't matter which you heardThe holy or the broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, Hallelujah
I did my best, it wasn't muchI couldn't feel, so I tried to touchI've told the truth, I didn't come to fool youAnd even thoughIt all went wrongI'll stand before the Lord of SongWith nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
Hallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah, HallelujahHallelujah
