Well I've heard there was a sacred chord,
David played, and it pleased the Lord.
But you don't really care for music, do yah?
Well, it goes like this:
The fouth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift
The baffled king composing hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well your faith was strong, but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew yah.
She tied you to her kitchen chair she broke your thrown,
She cut your hair
And from your lips shew 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 yah
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory march
It's cold and it's a broken hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, 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 you
And remember when I moved in you
The holy dove was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Well maybe there is a God above
But, all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebory who outdrew yah
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebory who's seen the light
It's cold and it's broken hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
