Jerusalem (Album Version) - MatisYahu Jerusalem if I forget you Fire not gonna come from me tongue Jerusalem if I forget you Let my right hand forget what its supposed to do In the ancient days we will return with no delay Picking up the bounty and the spoils on our way Weve been traveling from state to state And them don't understand what they say Three thousand years with no place to be And they want me to give up my milk and honey Don't you see its 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 its supposed to do Jerusalem if I forget you
Fire not gonna come from me tongue Jerusalem if I forget you Let my right hand forget what its 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 And they come overseas yes theyre 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 its supposed to do Jerusalem if I forget you Fire not gonna come from me tongue Jerusalem if I forget you Let my right hand forget what its supposed to do Caught up in these ways and the worlds gone crazy Don't you know its 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 dark haze Chop down all of them dirty ways Thats the price that you pay for selling lies to the youth No way not okay oh no way not okay 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 its supposed to do Jerusalem if I forget you
Fire not gonna come from me tongue Jerusalem if I forget you Let my right hand forget what its supposed to do Jerusalem
Jerusalem if I forget you
Fire not gonna come from me tongue Jerusalem if I forget you Let my right hand forget what its supposed to do Jerusalem if I forget you Fire not gonna come from me tongue Jerusalem if I forget you Let my right hand forget what its supposed to do
Fire not gonna come from me tongue Jerusalem if I forget you Let my right hand forget what its supposed to do Jerusalem if I forget you Fire not gonna come from me tongue Jerusalem if I forget you Let my right hand forget what its supposed to do
