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,
Burned 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 im 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, ey,
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.
