Hallelujah Lyrics

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, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

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
Love is not a victory march
Its a cold and its a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

There was a time you'd let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show it to me do you?
And remember when I moved in you?
The holy dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you
Its not a cry you can hear at night
Its not somebody who's seen the light
Its a cold and its a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

What is the Meaning of Hallelujah?

This hauntingly beautiful song delves into the complexities of love, faith, and human vulnerability. It uses biblical references like King David's secret chord and his encounter with Bathsheba to illustrate moments of divine inspiration and profound despair. The repeated "Hallelujah" reflects a mix of praise, sorrow, and acceptance. It's not just about religious faith but also the emotional highs and lows we experience in relationships. Love isn't always triumphant; sometimes it's broken and cold, yet there's still a sense of reverence for these raw emotions. #LoveAndLoss #EmotionalJourney #BiblicalReferences #HumanVulnerability
