London Community Gospel Choir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hallelujah, (Hallelujah)
Hallelujah, (Hallelujah)
Hallelujah
I heard that there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you really don't care for music, do ya?
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Well our faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
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
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 ya
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
Maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
Ooh, When 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
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
aaahhhh

Hallelujah, (Hallelujah)
An expression of praise, joy and thanksgiving to God
I heard that there was a secret chord
I heard that there was a special way of playing music that few know about
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
That David played and God was pleased with his music
But you really don't care for music, do ya?
But you don't seem to have much interest in music, do you?
It goes like this
It sounds like this
The fourth, the fifth
The notes of the fourth and fifth degree of the scale
The minor fall, the major lift
The notes that produce a sad or happy feeling
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
The confused king writing this song of praise
Well our faith was strong but you needed proof
Our belief was strong, but you wanted evidence
You saw her bathing on the roof
You saw her taking a bath on the rooftop
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
Her beauty and the moonlight overwhelmed you
She tied you, to a kitchen chair
She tied you to a chair in the kitchen
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
She destroyed your reign and cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
And she drew the praise from your mouth
I did my best, it wasn't much
I tried my best, but it wasn't great
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I lost my emotions, so I tried to reach out
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool ya
I've spoken honestly, I'm not here to deceive you
And even though, It all went wrong
Despite the fact that everything went bad
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
I'll be standing before God, the master of music
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
Without any words other than praise and thanksgiving to God
Maybe there's a God above
Perhaps there's a higher power above us
But all I've ever learned from love
But everything I know about love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew ya
Is to hurt someone who hurt you first
Ooh, When it's not a cry that you hear at night
When you hear something other than a cry of pain at night
It's not somebody who's seen the light
It's not someone who has had an epiphany
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
It's a feeling of sadness and disappointment despite offering praise and thanks
aaahhhh
Interjected sound of joy and celebration
