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? Well, it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth The minor fall and the major lift The baffled king composed an Alleluia Alleluia, Alleluia Alleluia, Alleluia 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 Alleluia, Alleluia Alleluia, Alleluia Alleluia, Alleluia I did my best, but it wasn't much I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch I 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 Alleluia Alleluia, Alleluia Alleluia, Alleluia Alleluia, Alleluia Alleluia, Alleluia Alleluia, Alleluia Alleluia
