Hallelujah Lyrics - Live At Benaroya Hall With The Seattle Symphony - Brandi Carlile

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 ya? 

It goes like this: the fourth, the fifth 

The minor fall, the major lift 

The baffled king composing hallelujah 

[chorus] 

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 ya 

She tied you to her kitchen chair 

She broke your throne, and she cut your hair 

And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

[chorus] 

Well baby, I've been here before 

I've seen this room and I've walked this floor 

You know, I used to live alone before I knew ya 

And I've seen your flag on the marble arch 

And love is not a victory march 

It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah 

[chorus] 

Well, there was a time when you let me know 

What's really going on below 

But now you never show that to me, do ya? 

But remember when I moved in you 

And the holy dove was moving too 

And every breath we drew was hallelujah 

[chorus]

Maybe there is a God above 

But all I've ever learned from love 

Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya 

And it's not a cry that you hear at night 

It's not somebody who's seen the light 

It's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah 

[chorus] 

Hallelujah ... hallelujah
