Matisyahu - Jerusalem (Out Of Darkness Comes Light) Lyrics
[Chorus]Jerusalem, if I forget you,Fire not gonna come from me tongue.Jerusalem, if I forget you,Let my right hand forget what it’s supposed to do.In the ancient days, we will return with no delayPicking up the bounty and the spoils on our wayWe’ve been traveling from state to stateAnd them don’t understand what they say3, 000 years with no place to beAnd they want me to give up my milk and honeyDon’t you see, it’s not about the land or the seaNot the country but the dwelling of his majesty[Chorus]Jerusalem, if I forget you,Fire not gonna come from me tongue.Jerusalem, if I forget you,Let my right hand forget what it’s supposed to do.Rebuild the temple and the crown of gloryYears gone by, about sixtyBurn in the oven in this centuryAnd the gas tried to choke, but it couldn’t choke meI will not lie down, I will not fall asleepThey come overseas, yes they’re trying to be freeErase the demons out of our memoryChange your name and your identityAfraid of the truth and our dark historyWhy is everybody always chasing weCut off the roots of your family treeDon't you know that's not the way to be[Chorus]Jerusalem, if I forget you,Fire not gonna come from me tongue.Jerusalem, if I forget you,Let my right hand forget what it’s supposed to do.Caught up in these ways, and the worlds gone crazeDon’t you know it’s just a phaseCase of the Simon saysIf I forget the truth then my words won’t penetrateBabylon burning in the place, can’t see through the hazeChop down all of them dirty ways,That’s the price that you pay for selling lies to the youthNo way, not ok, oh no way, not ok, heyAint no one gonna break my strideAint no one gonna pull me downOh no, I got to keep on movingStay alive[Chorus]Jerusalem, if I forget you,Fire not gonna come from me tongue.Jerusalem, if I forget you,Let my right hand forget what it’s supposed to do.
