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
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, she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
There was a time you let me know What is going on below But now you never show it to me, do you? But remember when I moved in you The holy dark was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above But all I ever learned from love Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you. And it's not your cry that I hear at night It's not someone who's seen the light It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
