[Chorus] 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
[chorus]
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
Great video! You absolutely must read my post called "Meeting Matisyahu" under "Articles" at
About 2 months ago, at Parents' weekend at my son's college, me and my family were hanging out in a private club lounge in our hotel with Matisyahu and his family for an entire day. None of us knew who he was. We were discussing our vegan diets, among other things. I was playing with his kids. My husband asked him to spell his name three times! When we got home, we googled him and I almost died when I realized how famous he was! I knew his song "One Day" but I thought Bob Marley sang it. I am so uncool!
Nice ... 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.
Wow, awesome!
