Hallelujah lyrics
by Leonard Cohen
[Verse 1]
I heard there was a secret chord
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"
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
[Verse 2]
Your faith was strong, but you needed proof
You saw her dancing on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to her kitchen chair
She broke your throne and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew a hallelujah
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
[Verse 3]
I bow my head, I give it all
Lord, whenever I feel small, I sing a song
And it joins me right to ya
And I know we're here to love and serve
If we could only get the nerve
To mend these wars, we'd all sing hallelujah
[Coda]
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
