Hallelujah Lyrics - The Essential Leonard Cohen - Leonard Cohen

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 you? 

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 her 

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 you? 

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 you 

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
