Matisyahu

Late Night In Zion

We're the reflection of imperfection
We come from the infinite place of limitation
Rejoice in these days, make a correction
We're the completion
Lights out, down for the count, can't get up
Meanwhile the enemy screams the boy is stuck
and the legs of the king are dangling in a rut
Falling pieces, lost sparks, hearts cut
We're not alone in the madness if we're here, then so are you
Deepest caverns underground, we've been digging for the truth,
Scrape my knees, on the hurdles, face down in the puddles
Only one who'll get us out of this mess, the one who put us here
I've got a spear driven through my ear
Can't you hear the sound, crystal clear, pistols smashing chandeliers
Long for brooks of water like the deer
Chorus: x2
A man is just a man, filled of faults and weakness
For a young Jerusalem all alone and speechless
Nighttime, nobody's home, roam streets in darkness
I feel I'm just a man, flesh and bones, homeless
Planting seeds, they won't sink in, I'm dried up
like the desert earth, how could these seeds give birth
Water me down, liquify, I will not be cursed
From one into a million disperse
Wisdom reigns like water from heaven to below
Crush my earth, seeds grow, garden start to grow
You know you've got to rise, though you like to flow
You can't keep staring out the window
Earth, water, wind, fire we stay low while getting higher
Spark igniter, fighting tired stay wired, enlighten loads
Fly alive, weep wail chant, cry, let out a sigh
Energized, give my last dime, life shouldn't pass me by
Rise, to the occasion
Keep these hearts all blazin build your life on a river of wax
Melt into space, we've been here since the beginning
not going away, not going away...
Chorus
