Hallelujah Lyrics - Singles - Matthew Schuler

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 in the moonlight overthrew you 

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 

Baby I have been here before 

I know this room, I've walked this floor 

I used to live alone before I knew you. 

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 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

There was a time when you let me know 

What's really going on below 

But now you never show it to me, do you? 

And remember when I moved in you 

The holy dove was moving too 

And every breath we drew was Hallelujah 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

Hallelujah, Hallelujah 

Maybe there's a God above 

But all I've ever learned from love 

Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you 

It's not a cry you can hear at night 

It's not somebody who has seen the light 

It's a cold and it's a broken 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
