I've heard there was a secret chord that David palyed 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,
The beauty and the moonlight overthrew you.
She tied you to a kitchen stair, she broke your throne, 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 boken Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
There was a time 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.
Ans 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
