I've heard there was a secret chord That David played to please 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 composed Hallelujah Your faith was strong but you needed proof You saw her bathing on the roof Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you She tied you to a kitchen chair She broke your throne, she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah You say I took the Name in vain Well 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 I did my best, it wasn't much I couldn't feel, so I learned to touch I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you And even though all went wrong I'll stand before the Lord of Song With nothing on my lips but Hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Now maybe there's a God above But all I ever learned from love Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you And it's no complaint you hear tonight It's not some pilgrim who's seen the light It's a cold and broken Hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah Hallelujah, hallelujah
