  • First of all, thanks to Shrek and ‪@rufuswainwright‬ for introducing me to this song!
    Secondly, although I threw a bit of my own flair on this, I'm mostly influenced by the ‪@jeffbuckleymusic‬ version. ‪@PTXofficial‬ also has a great version. Hell, there are dozens of amazing covers of this tune out there, and I'd love to hear your recommendations in the comments.
    We'll get back to rock n' roll next week. Promise! Until then, hope you enjoy!

    Lyrics:
    I heard there was a secret chord
    That David played and it pleased the Lord
    But you don't really care for music, do you?
    Well it goes like this the fourth, the fifth
    The minor fall and the major lift
    The baffled king composing Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Well 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 her kitchen chair
    She broke your throne and she cut your hair
    And from your lips, she drew the Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Baby, I've been here before
    I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
    You know, I used to live alone before I knew you
    And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
    And Love is not a victory march
    It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Well, there was a time when you let me know
    What's really going on below
    But now you never show that to me, do you?
    But remember, when I moved in you
    And 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 somebody who outdrew you?
    And it's not a cry, that you 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
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah
    Hallelujah

    I'm so glad you pronounced "you" as "ya". Other covers don't and fail to rhyme with Hallelujah.

    Try these words I wrote to this song…
    Hallelujah… Glory To God
    Sung to the song “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen
    Verse 1
    In Bethlehem long ago
    After Your birth the story’s told
    The Magi were the first to bring gifts to Ya
    They had to travel long and far
    By following the brightest star
    That led them to their Savior Hallelujah
    Verse 2
    Not long after You where born
    In a dream Joseph was warned
    That You would have to flee
    Before they knew Ya
    Were the One the prophets said
    Who'd save us all through Your death
    And be our King forever Hallelujah
    Verse 3
    In the Temple courts at 12 years old
    You stayed after the festival
    To ask the teachers questions that You knew of
    They were surprised at what You said
    Your mother Mary was scared to death
    In Your Fathers house they found You Hallelujah
    Verse 4
    Now You grew up became a man
    You understood Your Fathers plan
    So You set out to tell the world the truth of
    How God's kingdom is at hand
    We must repent from our sin
    Turn and follow You Hallelujah
    Verse 5
    You chose twelve to follow You
    Taught them how to share Gods truth
    You showed them that the power of God flows through Ya
    You turned the water into wine
    You healed the lame the deaf the blind
    Raised Lazarus from the dead Hallelujah
    Verse 6
    The Pharisees who knew the law
    Couldn't stand to hear You talk
    Because You would rebuke them with the truth of
    How You'd destroy the temple and
    In three days rebuild again
    But they didn't have a clue Hallelujah
    Verse 7
    At Your last supper You were betrayed
    You gave him bread said don't delay
    Do quickly what the devil has done through ya
    Later in the garden he
    Gave You a kiss on the cheek
    He sealed God's will for You Hallelujah
    Verse 8
    They seized You Lord took You away
    They had a trial to seal Your fate
    They begged Pontious Pilate just to kill Ya
    He ordered Lord to have You flogged
    But still he felt he would be mobbed
    So he let them crucify You Hallelujah
    Verse 9
    The soldiers treated You with scorn
    They mocked You with a crown of thorns
    They placed it on Your head after they beat Ya
    Then they nailed You to a tree
    They pierced Your hands
    They pierced Your feet
    They watched You hang and bleed Hallelujah
    Verse 10
    You cried out Father on that tree
    Why have You forsaken Me
    You even told Your Father to forgive us
    It is finished was Your final say
    The veil was torn the earth it quaked
    Our ransom had been paid Hallelujah
    Verse 11
    In Joseph's tomb You were laid
    The stone rolled open in three days
    Mary was the first of all to see Ya
    She went to tell them You're alive
    She seen her Lord with her own eyes
    You conquered death forever Hallelujah
    Verse 12
    The world has changed but You have not
    Your still the greatest gift from God
    I'm grateful that God sent You here to save us
    Lord, You're not just a gift
    You are alive, You breathe You live
    You're the gift that keeps on giving Hallelujah
    Chorus
    Hallelujah Hallelujah
    Hallelujah Hallelujah Glory to God
