I heard there was a secret chord That David played and 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 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
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 hallelujah
I tried my best, it wasn't much I couldn't feel so I tried to touch I've told the truth, I never ment to fool you And even all it all went wrong I'll stand before the lord of song With nothing on my trumpet, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
