Hallelujah

"Hallelujah"
by The Canadian Tenors

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

– o –

Your faith was strong, but you needed proof.
You saw her bathing on the roof,
her beauty and the Moonlight overthrew you.

She tied you to a kitchen chair,
she broke your throne, she cut your hair
and from your lips she drew the Hallelujah. Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

– o –

Maybe I've 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,
and love is not a victory march.
It's cold and it's a broken Hallelujah.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

– o –

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//
