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 |
