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 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
