Shrek - Rufus Wainwright - Hallelujah lyrics
rate meI’ve heard there was a secret chord<br />
That David played and it pleased the Lord<br />
But you don’t really care for music do you?<br />
<br />
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth<br />
The minor fall, the major lift<br />
The baffled King composing Hallelujah<br />
<br />
Hallelujah, hallelujah<br />
Hallelujah, hallelujah<br />
<br />
Your faith was strong but you needed proof<br />
You saw her bathing on the roof<br />
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew you<br />
<br />
She tied you to a kitchen chair<br />
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair<br />
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah<br />
<br />
Hallelujah, hallelujah<br />
Hallelujah, hallelujah<br />
<br />
Bayby I’ve been here before<br />
I know this room, I’ve walked this floor<br />
I used to live alone before I knew you<br />
<br />
I’ve seen your flag on the marble arch<br />
Love is not a victory march<br />
It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah<br />
<br />
Hallelujah, hallelujah<br />
Hallelujah, hallelujah<br />
<br />
There was a time when you let me know<br />
What’s real and going on below<br />
But now you never show it to me, do you?<br />
<br />
And remember when I moved in you<br />
The Holy Dark was moving too<br />
And every breath we drew was hallelujah<br />
<br />
Hallelujah, hallelujah<br />
Hallelujah, hallelujah<br />
<br />
Maybe there’s a God above<br />
And all I ever learned from love<br />
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you<br />
<br />
And it’s not a cry you can hear at night<br />
It’s not somebody who’s seen the light<br />
It’s a cold and it’s a broken hallelujah<br />
<br />
Hallelujah, hallelujah<br />
Hallelujah, hallelujah<br />
<br />
Hallelujah, hallelujah<br />
Hallelujah, hallelujah
