Hallelujah |
| 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? |
| It goes like this: the fourth, the fifth |
| The minor fall, the major lift |
| The baffled king composing Hallelujah |
| Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
| Hallelujah, 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 |
| 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 which you heard |
| The holy or the broken Hallelujah |
| Hallelujah, Hallelujah |
| 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 |
