Jerusalem [Song]

JERUSALEM
By Muhammad Muwakil and Lou Lyons, Freetown Collective.

I know that these streets are not paved in gold
Joy is a path you have to walk on your own
So don't try to squeeze water from stone
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem.

I know that some days the sun doesn't shine
One minute you frown, the next minute you smile
But standing still, you still move forward in time
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem.

So many wars fought over your streets
Still your children can't find no place to sleep
That simply means this love is incomplete
If everyone claims to know just how your heart beats
Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
Jerusalem, Jerusalem.

I know that these streets are not paved in gold
Joy is a path you have to walk on your own
So don't try to squeeze water from stone
Jerusalem.

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Freetown Collective.

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
