The baffled king composing, hallelujah

And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above

And all I ever learned from love

Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you

The holy or the broken hallelujah

I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool ya

I'll stand before the Lord of Song

With nothing on my tongue but hallelujah
