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, 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 her
She tied you
To a kitchen chair
She broke your throne,
and 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
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah
