| I heard there was a secret chord |
| That David played and it pleased the Lord |
| But you don't really care for music, do you? |
| Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth |
| The minor fall and the major lift |
| The baffled king composing hallelujah |
|
| Well, 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 her kitchen chair |
| She broke your throne and she cut your hair |
| And from your lips she drew the hallelujah |
|
| Baby, I've been here before |
| I've seen this room and I've walked this floor |
| I used to live alone before I knew you |
| I've seen your flag on the marble arch |
| But love is not a victory march |
| It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah |
|
| Well, there was a time when you let me know |
| What's really going on below |
| But now you never show that to me do you |
| But remember when I moved in you |
| And the holy dove was moving too |
| And every breath we drew was hallelujah |
|
| Well, maybe there's a God above |
| But all I've ever learned from love |
| Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you |
| It's not a cry that you hear at night |
| It's not somebody who's seen the light |
| It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah |
| Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u .... |
| Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u .... |
| Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelu-u-u-u-jah .... |
| Halleluuuuuuujah |
