Hallelujah
Sara Gazarek Lyrics

I heard there was a secret chord
I am aware of a special melody

That David played and it pleased the Lord
David once played this melody and it pleased God

You don't really care for music, do you?
You are not particularly interested in music, are you?

It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The melody goes like this, following the fourth and fifth chords

The minor fall, the major lift
There is a change of tone, with a gentle drop, followed by an uplifting sound

The baffled king composing Hallelujah
The king who is puzzled is composing a song of praise

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Praise the Lord

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
Your trust was unshakeable, but you required evidence

You saw her bathing on the roof
You witnessed her bathing on the roof

Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew you
Her allure in the moonlight overpowered you

She tied you to her kitchen chair
She bound you to her kitchen seat

She broke your throne and she cut your hair
She destroyed your power and changed your appearance

And from your lips, she drew the Hallelujah
She extracted a song of praise from your lips

There was a time you let me know
There was a moment you confided in me

What's really going on below
What was happening in your innermost being

Now you never show it to me, do you?
Nowadays you do not reveal such things to me anymore, do you?

I remember when I moved in you
I recall the time when I lived with you

The holy dove, she was moving too
The holy spirit was also active and present

And every breath we drew was Hallelujah
Each breath we took was a prayer of praise

I did my best, it wasn't much
I gave my all, but it wasn't enough

I couldn't feel so I tried to touch
I was numb, so I attempted to make a connection

I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
I have been honest, I did not come to deceive you

And even though it all went wrong
Despite everything going awry

I'll stand before the Lord of song
I will appear before the master of music

With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
I have nothing to say except Hallelujah

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Praise the Lord

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Praise the Lord

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Praise the Lord
