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 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 over threw you She tied you to her kitchen chair She broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Baby I've been here before I see this room and I've walked this floor, you know I used to live alone before I knew you I've seen your flag on the marble arch And 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 really going on below But now you never show that to me, do you ? And remember when I moved in you The holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was hallelujah
Hallelujah , Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above Than all ever learned from love Was how to shoot somebody who out drew ya And it's not a cry that you hear at night It's not somebody who's seen the light It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
