Hallelujah

I heard there was a secret chord

That david played to 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







Your faith was strong but 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, she cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the hallelujah





Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah





You say i took the name in vain

Well 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 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 to fool you

And even though it all went wrong

I'll stand before the lord of song

With nothing on my lips, hallelujah





Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah





Well, maybe there's a god above

But all i ever learned from love

Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you

And it's no complaint you hear tonight

It's not some pilgrim who's seen the light

It's a cold and broken hallelujah





Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
