Grace

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
in 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 seen 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
It's a cold and it's 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?
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
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
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


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