ancient lullaby

matisyahu

mist rising on the horizon

listenin' with my ears and listenin' with my eyes and

listenin' until we've ridden the mud from the parasite

listenin' until our hearts start to glisten

realize

share the vision and my rhythms and we'll melt the ice

start sizzlin'

spilling from the ceiling

prayer dripping drizzling

close to the broken-heart

them crushed in spirit

redeem the soul of your servant

seek his

pursue it

keep the sparkle in your eyes

oh you know

we're not gon die

like flyin'

soul times for the times when we'll stay unified

the eyes of has hem are to the righteous and he hears their

soul cry

like an ancient lullaby

soul cry

like an ancient lullaby

jerusalem breathes

bringin' me ease from the brooklyn squeeze

dirty babylon i'll bring ya down to ya knees

track ya like a lion

leave me be

when they come with their disease to drag us into the street

my law's still pure

you can't take that from me

3000 years until this last century

impossible to break the seal of the high priest

yo

i say the branches on the trees gon bow to these

swaying to the melodies

craving for the slaves to bring redemption please

i am you

you are me

no more leaders

we must flea

we want see god in our enemy
