(Original lyrics by Leonard Cohen)
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?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, the major lift
the baffled king composing 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 what 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 learned to touch
I 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 lips but Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Oh! Yes, there is a God above
and we really need to learn from love
and not shoot at someone who outdrew ya!
We’ve seen the flag on the march arch
but love is not a victory march
It’s a cold and it’s a broken Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
I know you came to rescue me
this baby boy would grow to be
a man, and one day die for me and you
Our sins would drive the nails in you
that rugged cross was our cross too
Still every breath You drew was Hallelujah
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
