Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’ is the song Daniel sang on American Idol in 2015. He says this song has gotten him through a lot. With the band on hiatus, Daniel has recorded his own version of a song that means a lot to him and given it us to help us while he and the rest of Why Don’t We fight in this...
[Intro]
Ooh-ooh-ooh
[Verse 1]
I heard there was a secret chord
David played, and it pleased the Lord
You don't really care for music, do ya?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, and the major lift
The baffled king composing "Hallelujah"
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah (Mm)
[Verse 2]
Your faith was strong but you needed proof, yeah
You saw her bathin' on the roof
Her beauty in the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to a kitchen chair
Broke your throne, she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallеlujah
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, ooh, Hallеlujah
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah
Ah, ah
Ah, hey
[Verse 3]
Maybe there's a God above (Ooh)
But all I've ever learned from love (Ooh)
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you (Ooh, yeah)
And it's not a cry that you hear at night (Heart at night)
It's not somebody who's seen the light (Seen the light)
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
[Chorus]
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, hey, Hallelujah, oh
Hallelujah, oh, Hallelujah
[Outro]
Hallelujah
Hallelujah, oh, Hallelu-ujah
