Hallelujah

Well, I've hear there was a sacred chord

David played, and it pleased the Lord

But you don't really care for music, do ya?

Well, it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth

The minor fall and the major lift

The baffled king, composin', Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Well, your faith was strong, but you needed proof

You saw her bathin' on the roof

Her beauty, in the moonlight overthrew ya, oh

And she tied you to her kitchen chair

She broke your throne, she cut your hair

And from your lips, she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Oh, baby, I have been here before

I've seen this room and I walked this floor

You know, I used to live alone before I knew ya, oh

And I've seen your flag on the marble arts

And love is not a victory march

It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah, yeah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Well, there was a time when you let me know

What's really goin' on below

But now you never show that to me, do ya? Oh

And remember when I moved in you?

The holy dove was moving, too

And every breath we drew was Hallelujah, oh

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelujah

Hallelu-, oh yeah

Well, maybe there is a God above

But all I've ever learned from love

Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya, oh

And 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, oh

Hallelujah

Oh, Hallelujah-lujah

Hallelujah

Hallelu-, oh

Hallelujah

Hallelujah, oh

Hallelujah

Hallelu- ooh, oh, -jah
