Jerusalem

Lyrics

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
 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
 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
 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
