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 ya It goes like this the fourth the fifth the minor fall and 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 ya 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 when 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
