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 In 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
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
I did my best, it wasn't much. I couldn't feel, so I learned to touch. I've told the truth, I didn't come all this way to fool you. Yeah even tough it all went wrong I'll stand right here before the Lord of Song With nothing on my lips but Hallelujah.
