Well, 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.
Well it goes like this: The fourth the fifth,
the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing hallelujah
- - - - -
Halleluja, Halleluja, Halleluja, Halleluja
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
-
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew her
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
Oh Baby I've been here before.
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor.
-
I used to live alone before I knew you.
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
but love is not a victory march
/
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
- - - - -
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well 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
Well maybe there is a god above
but all I've ever learned from love
-
was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
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
- - - - -
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
- - - - -
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
