Ive heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you dont 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... 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, and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah... Baby I have been here before I know this room, Ive walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew you. Ive seen your flag on the marble arch Love is not a victory march Its a cold and its a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah... There was a time when you let me know Whats really going on below But now you never show it 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... Maybe there’s a God above But all I’ve ever learned from love Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you It’s not a cry you can hear at night It’s not somebody who has seen the light It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah... You say I took the name in vain I dont even know the name But if I did, well, really, whats it to you? Theres a blaze of light in every word It doesnt matter which you heard The holy or the broken Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah... I did my best, it wasnt much I couldnt feel, so I tried to touch Ive told the truth, I didnt come to fool you And even though it all went wrong Ill stand before the Lord of Song With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
