Hallelujah |
| I heard there was a secret chord |
| That David played and it 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 |
| Though 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 what you heard |
| The holy or the broken, Hallelujah |
| Hallelujah… |
| I did my best, it wasn’t much |
| I couldn’t feel so I tried 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 tongue but 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 |
