And even though it all went wrong
The minor fall, the major lift
But if I did, well, really, what's it to you?
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
She tied you to her kitchen chair
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
It goes like this the fourth, the fifth
Hallelujah
You saw her bathing on the roof
Hallelujah
And it doesn't matter which you heard
Hallelujah
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
Hallelujah
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
I did my best, it wasn't much
She broke your crown and she cut your hair
I don't even know the name
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
There's a blaze of light in every word
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
Hallelujah
But you don't really care for music, do you?
And from you lips she drew the Hallelujah
You say I took the name in vain
