They say there was a secret chord That David played, and pleased the Lord You don't really care for music, do you? It goes like this the fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lifts The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
You saw her bathing on the roof Your faith was strong but you needed proof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you She tied you to a kitchen chair She broke your faith, and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
Well you say I took the name in vain I didn't even know the name And 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 broken or the holy 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
