I heard there was a secret chord
That David played too pleased the lord
But you donÕt 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 donÕt even know the name
But if I did, well really, whatÕs it to you
ThereÕs a blaze of light in every word
It doesnÕt matter which you heard
The holy or the broken, hallelujah

Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasnÕt much
I couldnÕt feel so I learned to touch
IÕve told the truth, I didnÕt come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
IÕll stand before the lord of song
With nothing on my lips, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah

Well, maybe thereÕs a God above
But all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you?
And itÕs no complaint you hear tonight
ItÕs not some pilgrim whoÕs seen the light
ItÕs a cold and broken hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
