Jerusalem (Out of Darkness Comes Light)
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
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
Said, ah, rebuild the temple and the crown of glory
Years gone by, about sixty
We were burned in the oven in this century
And the gas tried to choke, but it couldn't choke me
Will not lie down, I will not fall asleep
So they come overseas, yeah they're trying to be free
Erase the demons out of our memory
Change your name and your identity
Afraid of the past and our dark history
Why is everybody always chasing we?
Cut off the roots from 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
Said they caught up in their ways, and the world's gone craze
Them don't know it's just a phase, case of the Simon says
If I forget the truth, 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, there's no way, not ok
Ain't no one gonna break my stride
Ain't no one gonna pull me down
Oh no, I got to keep on moving
Ain't no one gonna break my stride
Ain't no one gonna pull me down
Oh no, I got to keep on moving, say
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, if I forget you
Jerusalem, if I forget you
Jerusalem, if I forget you
Jerusalem, if I forget you
