Hallelujah 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 overthrough ya
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 ya
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...


There was a time when you let me know
What's really going on below
But now you never show that to me do ya
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...

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...

Davis's music is steeped in ragtime blues, sweet jazz, real country and cajun, and he blends these traditions with his love for gritty rock n' roll and old soul. The result is what Performing Songwriter Magazine calls, "Some of the liveliest and most rocking roots music around".

Joshua travels across the country playing at concert halls, old theatres, festivals, clubs, dives, classrooms and parks. He's released a number of albums, including his 2005 solo effort, "Fool Rooster", which earned the album of the year slot from "Progressive Torch and Twang", a cult favorite Americana show on WDBM, and his second solo record, Magnolia Belles. He's released four albums with roots-rocking quartet Steppin' In It, one album of jazz standards with Shout Sister Shout, and has appeared on too many albums to count.

Davis has appeared on NPR's nationally syndicated Mountain Stage and Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour as well as Public Television, Backstage Pass. He's played prestigious festivals like Telluride Bluegrass in Colorado and Suwannee Springfest in Florida, not to mention every festival Michigan, his home state, has to offer.

Joshua has recently teamed up with fair trade organization On the Ground for a life-changing journey to the Palestinian West Bank which culminated in a record about his travels. A Miracle of Birds is his most personal expression yet. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
