Matisyahu - Late Night In Zion Lyrics






We're the reflection of imperfection,
We come from the infinite place of limitation.
Rejoice in these days, make a correction,
We're the completion.

Lights out, down for the count, can't get up
Meanwhile the enemy screams the boy is stuck,
and the legs of the king are dangling in a rut
Falling pieces, lost sparks, hearts cut.

We're not alone in the madness,
if we're here, then so are you,
Deepest caverns underground,
we've been searching for the truth,
Scrape my knees, on the hurdles, face down in the puddles.

The only one who'll get us out of this mess,
The one who put us here.
I've got a spear driven through my ear,
Can't you hear the sound, crystal clear,
Pistols smashing chandeliers.
Long for brooks of water like the dear.

[CHORUS:]
A man is just a man,
Filled of faults and weakness,
For a young Jerusalem all alone and speechless.
Nighttime, nobody's home, roam streets in darkness.
I feel I'm just a man, flesh and bones, homeless.
[2x]

Planting seeds, they won't sink in.
I'm dried up, like the desert earth, how could these seeds give birth.
Water me down, liquify, I will not be cursed.
From one into a million disperse.

Wisdom reigns like water from heaven to below.
Crush my earth, seeds sow, garden start to grow.
You know you've got to rise, though you like to flow.
You can't keep staring out the window.

Earth, water, wind, fire we stay low while getting higher.
Spark igniter, fighting tired
Stay wired, enlighten loads.
Stay alive, weep wail chant, cry, let out a sigh
Energized, give out my last dime, life shouldn't pass me by.

Rise, to the occassion.
Keep these hearts all blazin.
Build your life on a river of wax.
Melt into space, we've been here since the beginning, not going away.
Not going away.....

[CHORUS]

    Words of the Master-Builder: Unless HE, the CREATOR built,s the house with us together, there is no house at all, because Flesh without SPIRIT will crumble and fall. Much Love from Jesus-Dread. Greetings from Holland. The CREATOR bless you all near and far!

    One of my favorites from this Jewish man.

  3. R.... B....

    This is such a chill song. Irregardless of your belief, this is a good song. It's about knowing your place, seeking the personal truth, accepting the way the world works. At least, that's how I feel.

    When I need some self reflection the chorus from this song always comes to mid. ALways trying to stay true and humble, lend a helping everytime I can.

    This song moves me very deeply. The words are supremely introspective and full of humility. The honesty in the message here is powerful.
