Hallelujah

A "ReBoot" web video



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?


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 you


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.

 


Baby I've been here before, I know this room


I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you


I've seen your flag on the Marble Arch


Love is not a victory march


It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah


Hallelujah, hallelujah,


Hallelujah, hallelujah.

 


There was a time you let me know


What's real and going on below


But now you never show it to me, do you?


I remember when I moved in you


The holy dove was moving too


And every breath we drew was Hallelujah 


Hallelujah, hallelujah,


Hallelujah, hallelujah.

 


Maybe there's a God above, and all I ever learned from love


Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you


And it's not a cry you can 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.
