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?
And it goes like this,
the fourth the fifth.
The minor fall,
the major lift,
the baffled king composing hallelujah.
Hallelujah
Your faith was strong, but you needed proof.
You saw her bathing on the roof.
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you.
She tied to you to
her kitchen chair.
She broke your throne,
she cut your hair.
From your lips, she drew the hallelujahs.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You say I used the name in vain,
but I don't even know the name.
And if I did, well really what's it to you?
Because there's a blaze of life
in every word.
It doesn't matter
which you heard,
the holy or the broken Hallelujah.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah.
I tried my best, it was not enough.
I could not feel, so I tried to touch.
I 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...
