I’ve heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don’t really care for music, do you? Well it goes like this The fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah Chorus: Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Well your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you Well she tied you to a kitchen chair She broke your throne, and cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Baby I’ve been here before I’ve seen this room, and I’ve walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew you. I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch Our love is not a victory march It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah There was a time when you let me know What’s really going on below But now you never show it to me, do you? And remember when I moved in you The holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah Maybe there’s a God above But all I’ve ever learned from love Was how to shoot at somebody who outdrew you It’s not a cry that you can hear at night It’s not someone who has seen the light It’s a cold and broken Hallelujah You say I took the name in vain I don’t even know the name But if I did, well really, what’s it to you? There’s a blaze of light in every word It doesn’t matter which you heard The holy or the broken Hallelujah I did my best, it wasn’t much I couldn’t feel, so I tried to touch I’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool you And even though it all went wrong I’ll stand before the Lord of Song With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
