Hallelujah Lyrics - Kate Voegele

Well I've heard there was a sacred 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 

And the major lift, 

The baffled king composing hallelujah 

Hallelujah, hallelujah 

Hallelujah, hallelujah 

Well, your faith was strong but you needed proof 

You saw her bathing up on the roof 

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you. 

And she tied you her kitchen chair 

She broke your throne 

She cut your hair 

And from your lips she drew the hallelujah 

Hallelujah, hallelujah 

Hallelujah, hallelujah 

Well baby I have 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 

Love is not a victory march 

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

Hallelujah, hallelujah 

Hallelujah, hallelujah 

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? 

And remember when I moved in you 

The holy dove was moving too 

And every breath we drew was hallelujah 

Hallelujah, hallelujah, 

Hallelujah, hallelujah 

Well maybe there's a god above 

But all I ever learned from love 

Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you. 

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 

Oo hallelujah, oo hallelujah 

Hallelujah, hallelujah 

Hallelujah, hallelujah 

Hallelujah, hallelujah
