"HALLELUJAH" lyrics

"HALLELUJAH"
(originally by Leonard Cohen)

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 you
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

There was a time you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?
Remember when I moved in you
The holy dove was moving too
Every breath we drew was 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

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
