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, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....
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, hallelu-u-u-u-jah ....
You say I took the name in vain
I don′t even know the name
But if I did, well, really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light in every word
it doesn′t matter which you heard:
the holy or the broken Hallelujah,
Hallelujah…
Well, if you want to sing out, sing out
And if you want to be free, be free
'Cause there's a million things to be
You know that there are
And if you want to be high, be high
And if you want to be low, be low
'Cause there's a million ways to go
You know that there are
You know it's up to you
Anything you can do
And if you find a new way
Well, you can do it today
Well, you can make it all true
And you can make it undo
You see, ah-ah-ah, it's easy, ah-ah-ah
You only need to know
And if you want to be me, be me
And if you want to be you, be you
'Cause there's a million things to do
You know that there are
And if you want to say yes, say yes
And if you want to say no, say no
'Cause there's a million ways to go
You know that there are
You know it's up to you, anything you can do
And if you find a new way
Well, you can do it today
Well, you can make it all true
And you can make it undo
You see, ah-ah-ah, it's easy, ah-ah-ah
You only need to know
Well, if you want to sing out, sing out
And if you want to be free, be free
'Cause there's a million things to be
You know that there are
And if you want to be high, be high
And if you want to be low, be low
'Cause there's a million ways to go
You know that there are

I am sailing, I am
sailing
Home again ′cross the sea
I am sailing stormy waters
To be near you, to be free
I am flying, I am
flying
Like a bird 'cross the sky
I am flying, passing high clouds
To be near you, to be free
Can you hear me? Can you hear me
Through the dark
night far away?
I am dying, forever crying
To be with you, who can say?
We are sailing, we
are sailing
Home again ′cross the sea
We are sailing stormy waters
To be near you, to be free.
Oh Lord to be near you, to be free.

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and for you
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed days, dark sacred nights
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, saying, "How do you do?"
They′re really sayin', "I love you"
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They′ll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Yes, I think to myself
What a wonderful world
Oh, yes
