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 It goes like this the fourth the fifth the minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...
Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you She tied you to a kitchen chair She broke your throne, and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...
Maybe I’ve been here before I know this room, I’ve walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew you I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch Love is not a victory march It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...
There was a time you let me know What’s real and going on below But now you never show it to me, do you? And remember when I moved in you The holy dark was moving too And every breath we drew was hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...
Maybe there’s a God above And all I ever learned from love Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you And it’s not a cry you can hear at night It’s not somebody who’s seen the light It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...
