Hallelujah

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 Barefoot King composing Hallelujah



Hallelujah, 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 the kitchen chair

She broke your throne

She cut your hair

And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah



Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah



Well, baby I've been here before

I've seen this room, 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 is a broken Hallelujah



Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah



Well, there was a time 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 Ghost was moving too,

And every breath we drew was Hallelujah



Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah



Well, maybe there is a God above

But all that I've ever learned from love

Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you.

It's not a cry that you hear at night

And its not somebody who has seen the light

It is a cold and it is a broken Hallelujah



Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
