Lyric:
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

Three thousand 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

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
And 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

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 crazy
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 dark haze

Chop down all of them dirty ways
That?s 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 it?s 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 it?s 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 it?s 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 it?s supposed to do

Oh Jerusalem - Lyrics - MTV Unplugged 2.0 - Lauryn Hill

Title: Oh Jerusalem
Album: MTV Unplugged 2.0
Artist: Lauryn Hill
Composer(s): Lauryn Hill

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
Oh, Jerusalem yeah
Oh, Jerusalem
Oh, Jerusalem
Oh, Jerusalem

Realizing that there's no place else to go
And there's nobody I know who can help me
Text book solutions are so improbable
'Cuz everybody else is just as empty

Naked as the day that I was born, I tried to hide
Behind education and philosophy
Hopeless explanation to describe a situation
I can't see because the world's on top of me

Oh, wretched man that I am, who will deliver me
From the body of this death?
Freeing me from dust, and the superficial trust
Of an enemy that seeks to take my breath

Failing to connect, 'cuz I'm morally defective
By reason of the God inside my head
Causing me to see, only what pertains to me
Believing I'm alive when I'm still dead

Limited to Earth, unable to find out my worth
'Cuz I can't see past my own vanity
If I'm not included, then I just have to remove it
From my mind because it has to be insanity

Oh, wretched man that I am, who will deliver me
From the body of this death?
Can I even factor, that I've only been an actor
In this staged interpretation of this day

Focused on the shadow
With my back turned to the light
Too intelligent to see it's me in the way
What a paradox, having God trapped in a box

All this time professing to be spiritual
Naturally pretending
That I'm actually defending
God through my facade, only material

Oh, Jerusalem, wash thine heart from wickedness
That thou mayest be saved from thy deception
How long, shall thy face those lies within thee
Oh, Jerusalem, keeping thee from perfection

Submit to truth, leave the deception of thy youth
So we can walk in the council of authority
Forget the proof, a generation so aloof
Only follow in the steps of the majority

Trust in the Lord, with all thy heart
And lay not to thine own understanding in all thy ways
Acknowledge Him, and He shall direct our paths
Be not wise in thine own eyes that you can?t follow Him

We judge and condemn, just as ignorant as them
Who religion tells us that we should ignore
Perpetrating we're in covenant with Him
Exposed by the very things that we adore

We grin and shake hands, then lay ambush for the man
Who has a different point of view than us
Infuriated 'cuz he doesn't understand
Bringing up those things we don't want to discuss

Wise who do evil, we don't know how to do good
Walking on in darkness running from the light, ey
Led to believe, because we live in neighborhoods
Telling us what's going on will be alright

Oh, so repressed, so convinced that I was blessed
When I played with my game of Monopoly
Oh, to suggest, that my life is still a mess
Who reveal the pride I'm hiding is what's stopping me

Oh, Jerusalem, wash thy heart from wickedness
That thou mayest be saved from thy deception
How long, shall thy face those lies within thee
Oh, Jerusalem, keeping them from perfection

Abide in me and I in You, as the branch cannot bare
Fruit of itself except in the vine
I am the vine, ye are the branches, He that live in me
And I in him, the same bring forth much fruit

But without me, you can do nothing
Oh, Jerusalem, your traditions have deceived you
I've chosen you, you haven't chosen me
And whatsoever, you ask in my name He may give to you

But in vain they call my name, teaching doctrines just the same
Justified among themselves
But God knoweth the heart, what man esteems as smart
Is an abomination to Emmanuel

Just repent, turn from selfish motivation
So iniquity will not cause your demise
Make you a new heart and a new spirit for why would He die
Oh Jerusalem, please tell me why

I have no pleasure in the death of Him to die
Says the Lord God where forth turn yourselves and live
It's not the talkers, but the walkers in His word
Are the only ones the Father will forgive

Oh, Jerusalem, wash thy heart from wickedness
That thou mayest be saved from thy deception
How long, shall thy face those lies within thee
Oh, Jerusalem, providing you no protection
Oh, Jerusalem, oh, Jerusalem

Precious Jerusalem - Lyrics - Blind Guardian

Title: Precious Jerusalem
Artist: Blind Guardian
Composer(s): Hans Juergen Kuersch, Andre Olbrich

Lyric:
No doubt doubt, no longer need to hide it
I've found out who I am, I moved around in circles
I rise and fall again I know it well every word I tell
Seems to make no sense at all

Words will heal it love will conquer
The hearts of the hopeless
The almighty is still alive

Risin' up from the heart of the desert
Risin' up for Jerusalem
Risin' up from the heart of the desert
Building up old Jerusalem

Risin' up from the heart of the desert
Risin' up for Jerusalem
Risin' up from the heart of the desert
Building up old Jerusalem

I've gone beyond but there's no life
And there is nothing how it seems
I've gone beyond but there's no life
There is no healing rain in Eden
The empty barren wasted paradise

Let's celebrate the dawning of the son
I turn to you oh my precious Jerusalem
Deny your prophets their passion and treat them like fools
I turn to you oh my precious Jerusalem
Deny my love but you can change fate

Son of man you truly are mine
Can't stand the pain no more grief and misery
It goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on
Father stop it now we must stop it now

You really think you are half way up
I would not mind if you were right it's not sure
I'd rather say you are half way down
So I am going to help you if I can

I've been caught in wilderness
In wilderness I've got out well
I found myself, in desert lands, in desert lands
But you've been on my mind

I turn to you oh my precious Jerusalem
Deny your prophets their passion and treat them like fools
I turn to you oh my precious Jerusalem
Deny my love but you can change truth

Rise up and follow me 'cause I will bring the light
Rise up and follow me wake up and clear your mind
I try to bring it back the seed of life
I try to bring it back the seal of light

So if you say there's no faith in man
You better keep in mind
That I can read between the lines
My heavy burden brings eyesight to the blind

I've been caught in wilderness
In wilderness I've got out well
I found myself, in desert lands, in desert lands
But you've been on my mind

I turn to you oh my precious Jerusalem
Deny your prophets their passion and treat them like fools
I turn to you oh my precious Jerusalem
Deny my love but you can change me

Jerusalem - Lyrics - TYR - Black Sabbath

Title: Jerusalem
Album: TYR
Artist: Black Sabbath
Composer(s): Tony Iommi, Tony Martin, Neil Murray, Geoff Nicholls, Cozy Powell

Lyric:
The highway's screamin', callin' out your name
'Cause every road that you travel on
There's a price to pay
A thousand eyes are starin'
But the blind still lead the blind

Where will you turn if it all goes wrong
And you're on the run Jerusalem?

Where will you turn if it all goes wrong
And you're on the run Jerusalem?

You say you walked through the valley
You say you've seen the signs
Echoes call you from a distant age
Or is it in your mind?

When a thousand souls rise from the sea
Holding up the sun
And an angel cries 'Beware your lies'
It could be the end of it all

Where will you turn if it all goes wrong
And you're on the run Jerusalem?

Where will you turn if it all goes wrong
And you're on the run Jerusalem?

Everybody knows your name
Every road leads to anger
Will it always be the same?
Is there reason to return?
Is there reason to return?

When a thousand souls rise from the sea
Holding up the sun
And an angel cries

Where will you turn if it all goes wrong
And you're on the run Jerusalem?

When an angel cries, Jerusalem
Better watch your lies, Jerusalem
When an angel cries, Jerusalem

Jerusalem - Lyrics - The Chemical Wedding - Bruce Dickinson

Title: Jerusalem
Album: The Chemical Wedding
Artist: Bruce Dickinson
Composer(s): Bruce Dickinson

Lyric:
And did those feet in ancient times
Walk upon England's mountains green?
Was the Holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?

And did the countenance divine
Shine forth on our clouded hill?
Was Jerusalem built here
In England's green and pleasant land?

Let it rain
Let it rain
Wash the scales from my eyes
Let it rain
Let it rain
Let me see again

Bring me my bow of burning gold
Bring me my arrows of desire
I shall not sleep till the clouds unfold
Bring me my chariot of fire

Let it rain
Let it rain
Tears of blood fall out of the sky
Let it rain
Let it rain
Wash me clean again

From the frozen waters
The King will rise again
With two suns in the sky

I shall not cease from mental flight
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land

Let it rain
Let it rain
Tears of blood fall out of the sky
Let it rain
Let it rain
Wash me clean again

See the gleaming spires of the citadel
The King and Queen will dwell
In our hearts

Can Jerusalem be rebuilded here
In this trivial time, in this land of fear?
In Jerusalem, where the grail remains
Walk into the light and dissolve the chains
Ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh ohh, ohh ohh ohh
Jerusalem

Here is her secret place
From hence she comes forth on the churches in delight
Here is her cup filled with its poisons
In these horrid veils
And here, her scarlet veil woven in pestilence and war
Here is Jerusalem bound in chains
In the dens of Babylon

Bring me my arrows of desire
Bring me my spear, oh, clouds unfold
Bring me my chariot of fire

Title: Our Happy Home
Album: A Collision
Artist: David Crowder
Composer(s): David Crowder

Lyric:
Hallelujah, we are on our way
Hallelujah, we are on our way to God

From Egypt lately come
Where death and darkness reign
To seek our new, our better home
Where we [Incomprehensible]

There sin and sorrow cease
And every conflict?s over
There we shall dwell in endless peace
And never hunger more

Jerusalem, our happy home
Would God I were in Thee
Would God my woes were at an end
Thy joy that I might see

We soon shall join the throng
The pleasures we shall share
And sing the everlasting song
With all the ransomed there

Jerusalem, our happy home
Would God I were in Thee
Would God my woes were at an end
Thy joy that I might see

There in celestial strains
Enraptured myriads sing
There love in every bosom reigns
For God Himself is King

Jerusalem, our happy home
Would God I were in Thee
Would God my woes were at an end
Thy joy that I might see

Jerusalem, our happy home
Would God we were in Thee
Would God our woes were at an end
Thy joy at last shall see

Late Night In Zion - Lyrics - Youth - Matisyahu

Title: Late Night In Zion
Album: Youth
Artist: Matisyahu
Composer(s): Aaron Dugan, Matthew Miller

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
We're the reflection of imperfection
We come from the infinite place of limitation
Rejoice in these days, make a correction
We're the completion

Lights out, down for the count and can't get up
Meanwhile the enemy screams the boy is stuck
And the legs of the king are dangling in a rut
Falling pieces, lost sparks, hearts cut

We're not alone in the madness
If we're here, then so are you
Deepest caverns underground
We've been taken for the truth
Scrape my knees, on the hurdles
Face down in the puddles

The only one who'll get us out of this mess
The one who put us here
I've got a spear driven through my ear
Can't you hear the sound, crystal clear
Pistols smashing chandeliers
Long for brooks of water like the deer

A man is just a man, filled with faults and weakness
Four A.M., Jerusalem, all alone and speechless
And nighttime, nobody's home, roam streets in darkness
I feel I'm just a man, flesh and bones, homeless

A man is just a man, filled with faults and weakness
Four A.M., Jerusalem, all alone and speechless
And nighttime, nobody's home, roam streets in darkness
Feel I'm just a man

Planting seeds, they won't sink in
I'm dried up, like the desert earth, how could these seeds give birth
Water me down, liquefy, I will not be cursed
From one into a million disperse

Wisdom reigns like water from the heavens to below
Crush my earth, seeds grow, garden starts to grow
You know you've got to rise, although you like to flow
You can't keep staring out the window

Earth, water, wind, fire
We stay low while getting higher
Spark igniter, fighting tired
Stay wired, enlighten loads
Fly alive, weep wail chant, cry, let out a sigh
Energized, give out my last dime, life shouldn't pass me by

Rise, to the occasion
Keep these hearts all blazin'
Build your life on a river of wax
Melt into space
We've been here since the beginning
Not going away, not going away

A man is just a man, filled with faults and weakness
Four A.M., Jerusalem, all alone and speechless
And nighttime, nobody's home, roam streets in darkness
I feel I'm just a man, flesh and bones, homeless

A man is just a man, filled with faults and weakness
Four A.M., Jerusalem, all alone and speechless
And nighttime, nobody's home, roam streets in darkness
Feel I'm just a man

This love cannot be bought or sold
It's timeless as a story often told
Oh, and this love is never well behaved
Makes me wanna testify
Stand up, tell the world I'm saved

Oh, daughters of Jerusalem
I have seen the day break
And the shadows flee away

I'll break the chains of fear
In the name of this love
Laugh away the tears
In the name of this love

And this love, it doesn't bow its head
It don't need anybody's blessing
And don't care what anybody says, oh

Oh, daughters of Jerusalem
I have seen the day break
And the shadows flee away

I'll break the chains of fear
In the name of this love
Laugh away the tears
In the name of this love

Oh, daughters of Jerusalem
I have seen the day break
And the shadows flee away
Ooh, ooh

I'll break the chains of fear
In the name of this love
Laugh away the tears

Lyric:
Let the rivers run
Let all the dreamers wake the nation
Come, the new Jerusalem

Silver cities rise
The morning lights, the streets that meet them
Sirens call them on with a song

It's asking for the taking
Trembling, shaking
Oh, my heart is aching
Coming to the edge, running on the water
Coming through the fog, your sons and daughters

Sing the greatest song
Stand on a star
And blaze a trail of desire
Through the darkening dawn

Oh, it's asking for the taking
Come run with me now
The sky is the color of blue
You've never ever seen
In the the eyes of your lover
My heart is aching
Coming to the edge, running on the water
Coming through the fog, your sons and daughters

Oh, so sing the greatest song
Stand on a star
And blaze a trail of desire
Through the darkening dawn

Oh, it's asking for the taking
Trembling, shaking
Oh, my heart is aching
Coming to the edge, running on the water
Coming through the fog, your sons and daughters

Oh, so let the rivers run
Let all the dreamers wake the nation
Come, the new Jerusalem

Alien - Lyrics - Adam And The Ants

Title: Alien
Artist: Adam And The Ants
Composer(s): Adam Ant, Martin James Boorer, Marco Pirroni

Lyric:
Great when you call us
Thank you for staying with us
We missed you all so desperately
But don't blink or you'll miss me

On a street like this as it were
From the thick of Jerusalem
Is what makes you love old England
The roots of freedom are here

Say what you will about the alien
Just dig in and start with the sky
He is welcome and ever might be so
And then somehow everything seems to come out right

So let's hear it for, let's hear it for
Let's hear it for the alien

You're such a killer
Oh, just you trade that in
For tea and Jammie Dodgers
Down the Prospect and sing

On a street like this as it were
From the thick of Jerusalem
Is what makes you love old England
The roots of freedom are here

Say what you will about the alien
Just dig in and start with the sky
He is welcome and ever might be so
And then somehow everything seems to come out right

So let's hear it for, let's hear it for
Let's hear it for the alien

On a street like this as it were
From the thick of Jerusalem
Is what makes you love old England
The roots of freedom are here

Say what you will about the alien
Just dig in and start with the sky
He is welcome and ever might be so
And then somehow everything seems to come out right

So let's hear it for, let's hear it for
Let's hear it for the alien

Let's hear it for, let's hear it for
Let's hear it for the alien

Let's hear it, let's hear it for
Let's hear it for the alien

While You Were Sleeping - Lyrics - Lifesong - Casting Crowns

Title: While You Were Sleeping
Album: Lifesong
Artist: Casting Crowns
Composer(s): Mark Hall

Lyric:
Oh, little town of Bethlehem
Looks like another silent night
Above your deep and dreamless sleep
A giant star lights up the sky

And while you?re lying in the dark
There shines an everlasting light
For the King has left His throne
And is sleeping in a manger tonight, tonight

Oh, Bethlehem, what you have missed
While you were sleeping
For God became a man
And stepped into your world today

Oh Bethlehem, you will go down in history
As a city with no room for its King
While you were sleeping
While you were sleeping

Oh, little town of Jerusalem
Looks like another silent night
The Father gave His only Son
The way, the truth, the life had come
But there was no room for Him in the world He came to save

Jerusalem, what you have missed
While you were sleeping?
The Savior of the world
Is dying on your cross today

Jerusalem, you will go down in history
As a city with no room for its King
While you were sleeping
While you were sleeping

United States of America
Looks like another silent night
As we?re sung to sleep by philosophies
That save the trees and kill the children

And while we?re lying in the dark
There?s a shout heard ?cross the eastern sky
For the Bridegroom has returned
And has carried His bride away in the night, in the night

America, what will we miss
While we are sleeping
Will Jesus come again
And leave us slumbering where we lay

America, will we go down in history
As a nation with no room for its King
Will we be sleeping?
Will we be sleeping?

United States of America
Looks like another silent night

Every Ghetto, Every City - Lyrics - Lauryn Hill

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
I was just a little girl, skinny legs, a press and curl
My mother always thought I'd be a star
But way before my record deal
Streets that nurtured Lauryn Hill
Made sure that I'd never go too far

Every ghetto, every city and suburban place I've been
Make me recall my days in the New Jerusalem

Story starts at Hootaville, grew up next to Ivy Hill
When kids were stealin' quartervilles for fun
Kill the guy in Carter Park
Rode a mongoose 'til it's dark
Watchin' kids show off the stolen ones

Every ghetto, every city and suburban place I've been
Make me recall my days in New Jerusalem

You know it's hot, don't forget what you've got
Lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back
You know it's hot, don't forget what you've got
Lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back

Bag of Bontons, twenty cents and a nickel
Springfield Ave. had the best popsicles
Saturday morning cartoons and Kung-Fu

Main street roots tonic with the dreds
A beef patty and some coco bread
Move the patch from my Lees to the tongue of my shoe
'Member Frelng-Huysen used to have the bomb leather
Back when Doug Fresh and Slick Rick was together
Lookin' at the crew, we thought we'd all live forever

You know it's hot, don't forget what you've got
Lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back
You know it's hot, don't forget what you've got
Lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back

Drill teams on Munn Street
Remember when Hawthorne and Chancellor had beef
Movin' Records was on Central Ave.
I was there at dancing school
South Orange Ave. at Borlin' Pool
Unaware of what we didn't have

Writin' my friends' names on my jeans with a marker
July 4th races outside of Parker
Fireworks at Martin Stadium
The Untouchable P.S.P. where all them crazy nigga be
And car thieves got away through Irvington

Hillside brings beef with the cops
Self-Destruction record drops
And everybody's name was Muslim
Children grow and women produce and

Sensations and '88 attracted kids from out-of-state
And everybody used to do the wop
Jack, jack, jack ya body
Nah, the Biz Mark used to amp up the party
I wish those days, they didn't stop

Every ghetto, every city and suburban place I've been
Make me recall my days in New Jerusalem

You know it's hot, don't forget what you've got
Lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back
You know it's hot, don't forget what you've got
Lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back

You know it's hot, don't forget what you've got
Looking back, lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back

Lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back
Lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back
Lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back
Lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back
Lookin' back, lookin' back, lookin' back

Broken Circles - Lyrics - Levellers

Title: Broken Circles
Artist: Levellers
Composer(s): Jonathan Sevink, Charles Kenton Heather, Mark Chadwick, Jeremy James Cunningham, Simon Friend

Lyric:
Fired forty rounds in the center of town
He thought to bring the world around
Sleepless nights with God and Christ
The New Messiah

Burn the world to change the days
Can be done in better ways
But to make news and front page
You've got to aim higher

They didn't build Jerusalem
They didn't find the land
For reasons of security
They couldn't find the plans

And we're left standing, watching from below
No new songs, no new heroes
Standing on the sidelines watching the flow
Waiting for the day the circle's broken

Took the mic to save day
The rock star's going to have his say
Interpret things in any way as if it matters
'Cause nothing's black and nothing's white
Nothing appears to be quite right
It'll be this way until the day, the circle's shattered

I hear an old song yesterday about a better world
You know the story well, they're all the same
The boy gets the girl

And we're left standing watching from below
No new songs, no new heroes
Standing on the sidelines watching the flow
Waiting for the day the circle's broken

From the tips of your fingers, the rest is numb
You begin to feel the warmth of the sun
It's taking away been taking away
All you once knew

Taking it back takes all you've got
No time to sit and watch it rot
Believe it's yours and not the lies
Or all hell to you

They didn't build Jerusalem
They didn't find the land
For reasons of security
They couldn't find the plans

And we're left standing, watching from below
No new songs and no new heroes
Standing on the sidelines watching the flow
Waiting for the day the circle's broken

Just A Kid - Lyrics - All I Want For Christmas Is A Real Good Tan - Kenny Chesney

Title: Just A Kid
Album: All I Want For Christmas Is A Real Good Tan
Artist: Kenny Chesney
Composer(s): Kent Blazy, Skip Ewing

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
Well the news spread through Jerusalem
Tonight a child is born
There are shepherds fallin' to their knees
And angels blowin' horns

But in their golden halls, the pharisees
Scoffed and drank their wine
They said, "It's only Hebrew prophesy
We don't care and besides He's just a kid
That's all He is
One more pebble in the gravel
One more rumor in the rabble
How can He be king? He's just a kid"

Well in no time it seemed
The world was knockin' on His door
Performing miracles and wonders
They had never seen before

Soon the pharisees stopped laughing
The silver sum was paid
And near the end He knelt down
In the garden and He prayed

I'm just a kid, that's all I am
I'll need Your strength to see me through it
If it is Your will I'll do it
But how can I be king, I'm just a kid?

Now I think about the baby
And the man at Christmas time
Of mothers, sons and fathers
And children just like mine
About the power in unselfishness
Love and sacrifice
The gift that we were given
And the price

And how the news spread through Jerusalem
Tonight a child is born
There are shepherds falling to their knees
And angels blowin' horns

I wonder how on earth the pharisees
Could scoff and drink their wine
And say, "He's only Hebrew prophesy
We don't care and besides, He's just a kid
That's all He is
One more pebble in the gravel
One more rumor in the rabble
And how can He be king? He's just a kid"

Oh, how can He be king?
He's just a kid

Let The River Run - Lyrics - Never Been Gone - Carly Simon

Title: Let The River Run
Album: Never Been Gone
Artist: Carly Simon
Composer(s): Carly Simon

Lyric:
We're coming to the edge
Running on the water
Coming through the fog
Your sons and daughters

Let the river run
Let all the dreamers
Wake the nation
Come, the new Jerusalem

Silver cities rise
The morning lights
The streets that meet them
And sirens call them on with a song

It's asking for the taking
Trembling, shaking
Oh, my heart is aching

We're coming to the edge
Running on the water
Coming through the fog
Your sons and daughters

We the great and small
Stand on a star
And blaze a trail of desire
Through the darkening dawn

It's asking for the taking
Come run with me now
The sky is the color of blue

You've never even seen
In the eyes of your lover
Oh, my heart is aching

We're coming to the edge
Running on the water
Coming through the fog
Your sons and daughters

It's asking for the taking
Trembling, shaking
Oh, my heart is aching

We're coming to the edge
Running on the water
Coming through the fog
Your sons and daughters

Let the river run
Let all the dreamers
Wake the nation
Come, the new Jerusalem

Title: The Bullet Never Lies, And Time Will Prove All Things (An Allegory Of Unfaithful Jerusalem)
Artist: The Chariot
Composer(s): Jeffrey Carter Albrecht, Josh Beiser, Johnathan Harbin, Jorge Medina, Joshua Scogin

Lyric:
Well then, I hope that you receive this letter
I passed by and I saw you, kicking about
In your own blood, stand, form, grow
Are the words I spoke, promises are what I gave

Diamonds, beautiful queen, how soon we all forget
Like mother, like daughter, the seas of lament
Have found their home, dancing around, amongst your bones
Hello America, where is your future? Grace

Clock kept tickin' so he had to race it
Had to make it, back to basics
Followin' the law, naw, had to break it

Need money now, no havin' patience
Now they got him runnin' in faster paces
You lookin' through the water, hey, that's The Matrix
