Hallelujah Lyrics

[Verse 1] Now 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, the major lift The baffled king composing "Hallelujah" [Chorus]

Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah

[Verse 3] 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 ya?

There's a blaze of light in every word It doesn't matter which you heard The holy or the broken Hallelujah [Chorus]

Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah [Verse 4] I did my best, it wasn't much

I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool ya And even though it all went wrong I'll stand before the Lord of song

With nothing on my tongue but hallelujah [Chorus] Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah [Outro]

Hallelujah, Hallelujah [Additional Lyrics] Baby, I've been here before I know this room, I've walked this floor

I used to live alone before I knew ya And 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

[Additional Lyrics] There was a time you let me know What's really going on below But now you never show it to me, do ya?

And remember when I moved in you The holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah [Additional Lyrics]

Maybe there's a God above But all I've ever learned from love Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew 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
