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?
