| Now 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 and the major lift
|
| The baffled king composing "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 what 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, Hallelu-
|
| Hallelujah, Hallelujah
|
| Hallelujah, Hallelu-
|
| Hallelujah |
