"Hallelujah" is a song written by Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen, originally released on his album Various Positions (1984). Many cover versions have been performed by many and various singers, both in recordings and in concert, with over 300 versions known. It was the version used in the film Shrek (2001) I really like Rufus Wainwright, Jeff Buckley, and Katherine Jenkins' versions of this song.
Lyrics: 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
Baby I have 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 when you let me know What's really going on below But now you never show it to me, do you? And 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 But all I've ever learned from love Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you It's not a cry you can hear at night It's not somebody who has seen the light It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah *************************************************************************************** I DO NOT OWN OR MAKE CLAIM TO THE COPYRIGHTS TO THIS SONG.
