Well I've heard there was a secret chord that David played, and he 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 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 you and she tied you to her kitchen chair and she broke your throne, and she cut your hair and from your lips you drew the hallelujah. Hallelujah, hallelujah hallelujah, hallelujah. Well baby I've been here before I've seen this room and I've walked this floor, you know, I used to live alone before I knew you and I've seen your flag on the marble arch and love is not a victory march It's a cold, it's a broken hallelujah. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, 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? I remember when I moved in you and the Holy Dove was moving too and every breath we drew was hallelujah. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. Maybe there is a God above but all I've ever learned from love was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you 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.
