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 | |
