Chorus

AmFire descends from on Ghigh in the shape of a Flion G

AmBurn the sacrifice of Gpride and ride on Mount FZion G

AmFire descends from on Ghigh in the shape of a Flion G

AmBurn the sacrifice of Gpride and ride on Mount FZion G

Rub Amme the wrong way, taGking the highway

Rubbing Fsticks together but your Gfire's man-made

CapitaAmlize on hot air, soar lGike an airplane

Yearn to Frise in the sky quick high like cocaine

False Gpride is suicide but you've got nothing to gain

BabyAmlon's buildings raise like flames

GDrowning in their champagne

ExFplosion pulled the pin in the Ghand grenade

Soul Amstain blowing up, in your Gown domain

Fire Fcrackers ohh and aah, but they Gnever maintain

Bridge

FFires burning, Gflames are dancing

Don'Amt burn the house down LorGd

FHeavenly fire Gonly resides on an Amaltar made from the Gground

Chorus

AmOne pair of Geyes

But see Ftwo different Gthings

AmOne person Gcries but the Fother one Gsings

AmYou walk around like everybody Gowes ya something

Take what you Fgot, thank God for Gall that life brings

The Ampoor man has it all but not conGtent with anything

While the Frich man's hands are empty but he's Gsitting like a king

Bridge

DmBackpack's getting heavy, moving Gat a steady pace

Carrying Ambricks on your shoulders and leEmad around your waist

Making Dmway, run in haste, there is Amno time to taste

What you Emate, we should be grateful got a plateful

Fire burns like ice morsels falling fire like rain

Chorus

Youth

Am C x4

AmSome of them come now, some of the running, some of them Clooking for fun

Some of them Amlooking for away Cout of confusion

Some of them Amdon't know where to be, some of them Cdon't know where to go

Some of them Amtrust their instincts ,that Csomethings missing from the show

Some don't Amfit society, their inCsides are crying low

Some of them Amteachers squashed the flame, 'fore it Chad a chance to grow

Some of them Amembers still glow , them chaCrcoal hushed and low

Some of them Amcome with hunger suppressed, not fed themC feel the death blow yo

Chorus

FYoung man conEtrol in your hand

Slam your Amfist on the table, and make your demand

Take a Fstand fan a fire for the Eflame of the youth

Got the Amfreedom to C/Bchoose, you better Cmake the right Dmove

FYoung man, the Epower's in your hand

Slam your Amfist on the table and make your demand

FYou better make the right Emove

DmYouth is the engine of the world

DmYouth is the engine of the world

AmStorm the halls of Cvanity

AmFocus your Cenergy

Into a Amlaser beam streaming shattered Clight unites to pierce

Between the Amseams and it seems the Cworld open peering

The children Amsee rapid fire for your Cmind

Half a truth is just a Amlie they rub me the wrong Cway

They say their way or fall beAmhind, seventeen disconnect left out

The coCncept as to why, there's a spiritual emptiAmness

So the youth them get vexed, skip class and get Cwrecked

Feel with beer and cigarettes, to fill the hole in their Fchest!

Chorus

DmYou got the freedom to choose, better make the right move

They’re saying that I’m living in a D/F♯fantasy

But I believe if GI did keep and I bleed in Bsincerity

From my Gmortal enemies, won’t you Bshield Emme D/F♯

Chorus

JEmerusalem, if I forget you,

C Fire not gonna come from me tongue

JeGrusalem, if I forget you,

DLet my right hand forget what it's supposed to do

In the Emancient days, we will return with no delay

CPicking up the bounty and the spoils on our way

GWe've been traveling from state to state

And them Ddon't understand what they say

Em3,000 years with no place to be

And they Cwant me to give up my milk and honey

Don't you Gsee, it's not about the land or the sea

Not the Dcountry but the dwelling of his majesty

Chorus x2

EmRebuild the temple and the crown of glory

CYears gone by, about sixty

We were Gburned in the oven in this century

And the Dgas tried to choke, but it couldn't choke me

I will Emnot lie down, I will not fall asleep

And they Ccome overseas, yes they're trying to be free

EGrase the demons out of our memory

CDhange your name and your identity

AfEmraid of the truth and our dark history

EmCaught up in these ways, and the worlds gone craze

If GI forget the truth then my words won't penetrate

EmChop down all of them dirty ways,

That's the Cprice that you pay for selling lies to the youth

Intro

Slap me CDaft, we sat down in the back of the class

To seize Emknowledge we don't need, I forgot my late pass

But I'm Dmearly to a arrival beatbox, you got raps?

Meet me Emon the football field, don't sleep on field, the quarterback

No one Cclapped when we locked in, it was removal of our class

But my Emflag got captured and I fell between the cracks

My Dmtool for inspiration turned into a handicap

No Emmatter how I tried, I just couldn't fill the gaps

Those Cwhipper snappers, they got trapped old chap

They Emlost the way, they never had the right map

NeeDmded a sneak attack to slap the demons off my back

So I Empicked for the shtetl dreamed big I wouldn't settle

Put the Cpedal to the metal and returned to fundamentals

I'll Emnever forget running through the hall with all y'all rebels

Roaming Dmthrough the high land, young bucks invincible

Echoes Emin my brain, if kids report to the principle

Chorus

FSubstance dulls the mind

Traife wiDmne clouds the heart

You can't Amsew a stitch with one hand

While you're Gtaking it apart

FBright lights might look nice

But they Dmsure won't make you sharp

You can't Amsew a stitch with one hand

While you're Gtaking it apart

Yeah, misty Cmorning and my mom's a mess

To make matters Emworse dog my pops is stressed, life is a test

Make the Dmgrade or catch an F, now death is all that's left

To pEmonder I wander off hoping to catch my breath

And Chold it, mold my memories from untold scripts

And roll Emup in a tornado twist, now I'm certain

There's a Dmpertinent reason I'm on this earth

Seasons change in white Emplains, but we remain alert

When new school years apCpear fools fear for a failure and crawl away

In Emtears, I play Popeye the Sailor and stay with spinach

Dm We walk the halls with a grimace

Yeah they gossip in Emgroups, I try to mind my business and tell the truth

For Cinstance

I listen, see it all with basketball court Emvision

Ignoring ignorance in fields of fiction

We lean Dmback in the calmest position

And embrace the Emhonesty found within our tension, What's good?

Chorus

Riff

AmTrapped in the elevator of your mind

Is it real, what will you find behind the door

Your imaginations put you in a bind

Around you there's a cloud of gloom

Swallow the key, lock yourself in a room

Can't see outside of your universe

C No more war, there won't be anymore hunger

Em No jealousy, not even competition

Let Dmgo, release, you hold the keys

EmTime we evaporate into the breeze

CWe are nothing, we are something

Let Emgo, release, you hold the keys

It's Dmtime we evaporate into the breeze

We Emare nothing, we'll be something

CWelcome to the desert of my soul

You can Emstay if you like, there's room for one more

Dm There's room for one more Em

Chorus

A C7Mman is just a man, filled of faults and weakness

For a G/Byoung Jerusalem all alone and speechless

NighA7sus2ttime, nobody's home, roam streets in darkness

I feel I'm C7Mjust a man, flesh and bones, homeless

Planting C7Mseeds, they won't sink in, I'm dried up

Water me Amdown, liquify, I will C7Mnot be cursed

From Emone into a D/F♯million disGperse

Wisdom C7Mreigns like water from heaven to below

Crush my G/Bearth, seeds A7sus2grow, garden D/F♯start to grow

You know you've Amgot to rise, though you C7Mlike to flow

You can't keep Emstaring D/F♯out the winGdow

Earth, C7Mwater, wind, fire we stay low while getting higher

Spark igG/Bniter, fighting A7sus2tired stay D/F♯wired, enlighten loads

Fly alAmive, weep wail chant, C7Mcry, let out a sigh

EnergEmized, give D/F♯my last dime, life Gshouldn't pass me by

C7MRise, to the occasion

Keep these hearts all G/Bblazin' build your A7sus2life on a D/F♯river of wax

Melt into Amspace, we've been here C7Msince the beginning

You want AGod but you can't deflate your ego

If Gyou're already there then there's Bmnowhere to go

If you're Emcup's already full then its bound to overflow

If you're Gdrowning in the water's and you Bmcan't stay afloat

Ask AHashem for mercy, and he'll throw you a rope

You're Glooking for help from God you say he Bmcouldn't be found

Searching Emup to the sky and looking beneath the ground

Like a GKing without his Crown, you Bmkeep fallin' down
