Jerusalem

Matisyahu

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 delay Picking up the bounty and the spoils on our way We've been traveling from state to state And them don't understand what they say 3,000 years with no place to be And they want me to give up my milk and honey Don't you see, it's not about the land or the sea Not the country but the dwelling of his majesty 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 glory Years gone by, about sixty Burn in the oven in this century And the gas tried to choke, but it couldn't choke me I will not lie down, I will not fall asleep They come overseas, yes they're trying to be free Erase the demons out of our memory Change your name and your identity Afraid of the truth and our dark history Why is everybody always chasing we Cut off the roots of your family tree Don't you know that's not the way to be 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 craze Don't you know it's just a phase Case of the Simon says If I forget the truth then my words won't penetrate Babylon burning in the place, can't see through the haze Chop down all of them dirty ways, That's the price that you pay for selling lies to the youth No way, not OK, oh no way, not ok, hey Ain't no one gonna break my stride Ain't no one gonna pull me down Oh no, I got to keep on moving Stay alive 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.
