Hallelujah
My dear
It isn't given to everyone, this darkness
Or rather the ability to walk in the darkness
The power to spot, a mile away, the tremor in a heart
The sadness behind a smile, it hurts
But it enables you to walk these hallways
Because you are the one
To bring little bits of sunshine, in these dark spots
To comfort hurting aches and helpless cries
Even if it means giving up a little bit of your own light
I heard there was a secret chord
Then David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do ya?
Well, 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 and the moonlight overthrew ya
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
You say I took your name in vain
Well, I don't even know the name
But if I did (if I did)
What's it to ya?
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter what you heard
The holy or the broken 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
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
It isn't given to everyone, this darkness
Or rather the ability to walk in the darkness
The power to spot, a mile away, the tremor in a heart
The sadness behind a smile, it hurts

Because you are the one
To bring little bits of sunshine, in these dark spots
To comfort hurting aches and helpless cries
Even if it means giving up a little bit of your own light
