Leonard Cohen – Hallelujah: Lyrics and Music Video
Hallelujah Lyrics
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 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 and 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 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
