Now I've heard there was a secret chord
Now 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 ya? It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift The baffled king composing "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 ya She tied you to a kitchen chair She broke your throne and she cut your hair And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You say I took the name in vain I don't even know the name But if I did, well, really, what's it to ya? There's a blaze of light in every word It doesn't matter which you heard The holy or the broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I did my best, it wasn't much I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool ya And even though it all went wrong I'll stand before the Lord of song With nothing on my tongue but hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Baby, I've been here before I know this room, I've walked this floor I used to live alone before I knew ya And I've seen your flag on the marble arch Love is not a victory march It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
There was a time you let me know What's really going on below But now you never show it to me, do ya? And remember when I moved in you The holy dove was moving too And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Maybe there's a God above But all I've ever learned from love Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew ya 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
I've heard there was a hidden melody That David played, and it brought joy to the divine But you don't really have an interest in music, do you? It goes like this: the fourth note, then the fifth The minor drop, followed by the major rise The confused king creating 'Hallelujah'
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Your faith was strong, but you sought some evidence You watched her bathing up on the rooftop Her beauty and the moonlight captivated you She bound you to a chair in the kitchen She shattered your throne and cut off your hair And from your lips, she pulled out the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You claim I misused the name I don't even know what that name is But if I did, honestly, why does it matter to you? There's a spark of light in every single word It doesn't really matter which one you heard The sacred or the shattered Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I did my best, but it wasn't a lot I couldn't feel, so I tried to reach out I've spoken the truth; I didn't come to deceive you And even though everything went wrong I'll stand before the divine figure of music With nothing on my lips but Hallelujah
Praise be, praise be Praise be, praise be Praise be, praise be Praise be, praise be Praise be, praise be Praise be, praise be Praise be, praise be Praise be, praise be Praise be, praise be
Praise be, praise be
Darling, I've been here before I'm familiar with this place, I've walked this ground I used to be on my own before I met you And I've noticed your symbol at the grand arch Love isn't just a triumphant parade It's a distant and fractured praise
There was a moment you opened up to me What’s truly happening beneath the surface? But now you never reveal it to me, do you? And do you recall when I became part of you? The sacred dove was also in motion And every breath we took was a praise
Perhaps there's a higher power above But all I've ever learned from love Is how to aim at someone who was quicker than you And it's not a sound you hear in the dark It's not someone who has found the truth It's a distant and fractured praise
