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
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 [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/j/jason_castro/hallelujah.html ]
Baby I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you
I've seen your flag on the marble arch
But love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken 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
Well, maybe there's a god above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who outdrew you
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
Someone hit the nail on the head above when they wrote; "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"âi don't know if it's just me, but i tend to think this line is about sex, written very figuratively, almost close to being abstract. This is exactly what it is about. It's a very sacreligious song, very cleverly written. Well, we will all meet our maker and give an account of ourselves. God help leonard! Look for the other version same melody, different words.

Deep in our spirits, we want to sing out "hallelujah", but who are you singing it to? These are gross words and cannot by any means use these words for good! You need to re-read the words and if you can't quite figure out what the meaning is, google around until you find an explanation! There is another version, same tune, very beautiful, but meaningful words. Good heavens!!!

It's definitly a beautifully written song, although after reading all the lyrics carefully, i do not believe it was written as a praise & worship song to god. That being said, many people are still touched spiritually by this song ~ how can that be awful? If god used a jackass to carry the savior of the world to the cross, why can't he use this song for good too? All the lyrics might not have been ordained by him, but that doesn't mean he can't use them in a positive way. It's still a beautiful song - makes me want to sing hallelujah all day long!

Such a beautiful song, such a seemingly downer message.

He word ‘hallelujah’ is most familiar in the context of the ‘hallelujah chorus’ from handel’s messiah. ‘hallelujah’ is a hebrew word meaning “praise ye jah (jehovah)’. Hallelujah appears four times in the niv and nasb (revelation 19:1-6), and is translated ‘alleluia’ in the king james version. In modern parlance, both words mean ‘praise the lord’ or ‘praise jehovah,’ phrases which appear over 50 times in the old testament and once in the new testament. It is interesting to note, however, that none of the times where ‘praise the lord’ or ‘praise jehovah’ appears are they a translation of the hebrew ‘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"—i don't know if it's just me, but i tend to think this line is about sex, written very figuratively, almost close to being abstract... Read the words in all caps, as i wrote... I am not sure. Perhaps, i am just overanalyzing...
