iTalent Contest Audition - "Hallelujah" Cover

[silviagoh]

Hi everybody! This is my entry for iTalent Contest hosted by @ivan.atman. We love how a simple song can be so beautiful. @calebleejl loves the fact that they even literally wrote down how the chord progressions worked into the lyrics. Superb stuff. It also sounded like a modern hymn with just stanzas instead of a strong sense of verse and chorus. Hope you enjoy our rendition! 🤗

Now, I've heard there was a secret chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

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
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the lord of song
With nothing on my tongue but hallelujah

Big shoutout to witnesses @gtg and @fbslo for supporting this contest! 😁
