Jerusalem
Lyrics
Dust on the road, dirt in my shoes
Chasing a dream, got nothing to lose
A city of gold that I’ve never seen
But I hear it calls to the hearts of the keen
Everybody wants Jerusalem
A piece of Heaven in their hand
Everybody wants Jerusalem
But it slips away like grains of sand
Voices echo through the hills tonight
Whispers of hope under dim street lights
The prophets spoke but we forgot the sound
Now we dig for meaning in holy ground
Is it a place or is it a name?
Is it the fire or just a flame?
Everybody wants Jerusalem
A piece of Heaven in their hand
Everybody wants Jerusalem
But it slips away like grains of sand
What if it’s not a city at all?
What if it’s a love that breaks our walls?
What if it’s a song we forgot to sing?
What if it’s a light in everything?
Thoughts About This Song….
“Jerusalem” marks the beginning of the album’s second half, where the story moves from destruction and purification into awakening, understanding, and transcendence. It’s the moment of clarity: Jerusalem is not a destination — it’s the divine within all things.
“Jerusalem” walks the long road between dust and divinity. Beneath the fading light, the seeker follows whispers of hope, chasing the alluring city that glimmers just beyond reach. Yet each step reveals a deeper truth: the holy place is not built of stone, but of love remembered and light reborn. Jerusalem is the heart unveiled — a home that was never lost, only forgotten.
Angel W – Jerusalem is great. I love that you’re helping stimulate the brain pathways for people to think — is it really a place!?
