Artist/Band: Shrek
Lyrics for Song: Halleluja
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Shrek



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 you.

She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne
She cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Maybe I have been here before
I know this room, I've walked this floor
I used to live alone before I knew you.

I've seen your flag on the marble arch
Love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

There was a time you let me know
What's real and going on below
But now you never show it to me, do you?

And remember when I moved in you
The holy dark was moving too
And every breath we drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Maybe there's a God above
And all I ever learned from love
Was how to shoot at someone who outdrew you.

And it's not a cry you can hear at night
it's not somebody who's seen the light
it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah


Halleluja - Shrek

Performed by the animated film's soundtrack, this track serves as a pivotal moment in the musical score for Shrek. The song blends orchestral arrangements with a distinct folk-rock sensibility, reflecting the film's unique fusion of fairy tale tropes and modern comedy. While the lyrics reference biblical themes, the musical composition emphasizes a whimsical, slightly satirical tone that aligns with the movie's broader narrative style. It stands as a notable example of how animated film scores can utilize traditional musical structures to enhance storytelling without relying on literal interpretation. The recording contributes to the film's legacy as a cultural touchstone, often cited in discussions regarding the evolution of animated musical cinema and the use of parody in mainstream media.
