[Verse 1]
I heard there
was a secret c
hord
that David pla
yed and it ple
ased the Lord,
But you don't
really care fo
r music do you
.
It goes like t
his the fourth
the fifth,
the minor fall
and the major
lift
The baffled ki
ng composing h
allelujah
[Chorus]
Halleluja, Hal
leluja, Hallel
uja, Halleluuu
ja
[Verse 2]
Your faith was
strong but yo
u needed proof
You saw her ba
thing on the r
oof
Her beauty and
the moonlight
overthrew her
She tied you t
o a kitchen ch
air
She broke your
throne, and s
he cut your ha
ir
And from your
lips she drew
the Hallelujah
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Ha
llelujah, Hall
elujah, Hallel
ujah
[Verse 3]
You say I took
the name in v
ain
I don't even k
now the name
But if I did,
well really, w
hat's it to yo
u?
There's a blaz
e of light in
every word
It doesn't mat
ter which you
heard
The holy or th
e broken Halle
lujah
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Ha
llelujah, Hall
elujah, Hallel
ujah
[Verse 4]
Baby I've been
here before.
I know this ro
om I've walked
this floor.
I used to live
alone before
I knew you.
I've seen your
flag on the m
arble arch
but love is no
t a victory ma
rch
It's a cold an
d it's a broke
n Hallelujah
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Ha
llelujah, Hall
elujah, Hallel
ujah
[Verse 5]
There was a ti
me you let me
know
whats really g
oing on below
but now you ne
ver show it to
me do you?
I remember whe
n I moved in y
ou
and the holy d
ove was moving
too
and every brea
th we drew was
Hallelujah
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Ha
llelujah, Hall
elujah, Hallel
ujah
[Verse 6]
Now maybe ther
e's a God abov
e
but all I ever
learned from
love
is how to shoo
t at someone w
ho outdrew you
And it's no co
mplaint you he
ar tonight
and it's not s
ome pilgrim wh
o's seen the l
ight
it's a cold an
d it's a lonel
y Hallelujah
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Ha
llelujah, Hall
elujah, Hallel
ujah
[Verse 7]
I did my best
it wasn't much
.
I couldn't fee
l so I learned
to touch.
I've told the
truth, I didn'
t come to fool
you.
And even thoug
h it all went
wrong,
I'll stand bef
ore the Lord o
f Song
with nothing o
n my tongue bu
t Hallelujah
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Ha
llelujah, Hall
elujah, Hallel
ujah
