Ooh I heard there was a secret chord That david played and it pleased the lord But you don't really care for music, do ya? Well, it goes like this: The fourth, the fifth The minor fall and the major lift The baffled king composing hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Well, your faith was strong, but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya Well, she tied you to her kitchen chair She broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
There was a time when you let me know What's really going on below But now you never show that to me, do you? But remember when I moved in you And the holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well, maybe there's a God above But all I've ever learned from love Is how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya And it's not a cry that you hear at night It's not just somebody who's seen the light It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah
