Oh Jerusalem

Oh Jerusalem yeah oh oh Jerusalem Oh oh oh Jerusalem oh oh Jerusalem Realizing that there's no place else to go And there's nobody I know who can help me heal Text book solutions are so improbable 'Cause everybody else is just as empty, heal Naked as the day that I was born that's I tried to hide Behind education there's your philosophy Hopeless explanations that describes the situation I can't see because the world's on top of me Oh wretched man that I am who will deliver me From the body of his death Free me from dust and the superficial trust Of an enemy who seeks to take my breath Failing to connect cause I'm morally defected By reason of the God inside my head Causing me to see only what pertains to me Believing I'm alive when I'm still dead Limited to Earth, a neighbor to find out my word Cause I can't see past my own vanity If I'm not included then I'll just have to remove it From my mind because it has to be insanity Oh wretched man that I am who will deliver me From the body of his death Can I even factor that I've only been an actor In the staged interpretation of this day Focused on a shadow with my back turned to the light Too intelligent to see it's me in the way What a paradox of having got trapped in the box All this time professing to be spiritual Naturally pretending that I'm actually defending Got the mouth side on me material Oh Jerusalem what's not harmful wickedness That thou be safe from thy deception How long shall thou pain lie within thee Oh Jerusalem keeping thee from perfection Submit the truth leave the deception of thy youth So we can walk in the counsel of authority Forget the proof our generation's so aloof Only following the steps of the majority Trusting in the Load with all my heart Ailing not to find an understanding all our ways Acknowledge Him and He shall direct our paths Be not wise and analyze that you can follow Him We judge and condemn just as ignorant as them But religion tells us that we should ignore Perpetrating we're covering up for them Exposed by the very things that we adore We grin and shake hands then lay ambush for the man Who has a different point of view than us Infuriated cause he doesn't understand Bringing up those things we don't want to discuss Wise to do evil we don't know how to do good Walking on the doctrines running from the light Lead you up to believe because we live in neighborhoods Telling us what's going on will be all right Oh so repressed so convinced that I was blessed When I play with my game on Monopoly Or to suggest that my life is still a mess Who'll reveal the problem hiding, was stopping me Oh Jerusalem what's not harmful wickedness That thou may be safe from thy deception How long shall thou pain lie within thee Oh Jerusalem keeping thee from perfection Abide in me and I in you as the branch can not bear Fruit of itself, accepting the vine I am the vine, you are the branches He will live in me and I in Him The same will bear much fruit Though without me you can't do nothing Oh Jerusalem your traditions have deceived you I've chosen you you haven't chosen me whatsoever You asking my name He may give to you What in vain to call my name teaching doctrines just the same Just to fight among themselves But God know its in the heart, what man esteems is smart Isn't it about the nation to Emmauel Just has repent, turned from selfish motivation So inquity will not cause you demise Bring you a new heart and a new spirit for why will he die Oh Jerusalem please tell me why I have no pleasure in the death of him to die yet Says the Load got away to time themselves It's not the talkers but the walkers in his words Are the only ones to fight the will for years Oh Jerusalem what's not harmful wickedness That thou be safe from thy deception How long shall thou pain lie within thee Oh Jerusalem providing you no protection Oh Jerusalem ahhh ahhh yeah Oh oh oh oh oh Jerusalem Oh oh oh oh oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah Oh oh oh oh...
