Hallelujah Lyrics

[Intro]
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

[Verse 1]
Well, I heard there was a secret chord
That 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, the major lift
The baffled king composing hallelujah

[Refrain]
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

[Verse 2]
Well, your faith was strong, but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
Well, she tied you to a kitchen chair
And she broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

[Refrain]
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

[Verse 3]
Pero, yo he estado aquí
Conozco este pasillo por fin
Acostumbraba yo vivir solita

And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

[Refrain]
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

[Break]
Hallelujah
[Verse 4]
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 ya?

But, remember when I moved in you
And the holy dove was moving, too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah

[Refrain]
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

[Verse 5]
Maybe there's a god above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya

And it's not a cry that you hear at night
And it's not somebody who's seen the light
It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah

[Coda]
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelu—

Hallelujah
Oh, hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
