Matisyahu - Ancient Lullaby
| Song
Lyrics |
Biblical
Reference |
Mist rising on
the horizon
Listenin with my ears and listenin with my eyes
and
Listenin until we've ridden the mud from the
parasite
Listenin until our hearts start to glisten,
realize
Share the vision and my rhythms and we'll melt
the ice
Start sizzling, spilling from the ceiling,...,
dripping drizzling
|
|
Close to the broken-hearted, them crushed in
spirit
|
Psalm 34:18 - The LORD is nigh
unto them that are
of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a
contrite spirit.
Psalm 51:17 - The
sacrifices of God are a broken
spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God,
thou
wilt not despise.

Redeem the soul of your servant

But God will redeem my soul from the
power of the grave: for he shall receive me.
Selah.

Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it:
deliver me because of mine enemies.

He shall redeem their soul from deceit
and violence: and precious shall their blood be
in
his sight.

Seek peace, pursue it.

do good;
seek peace, and pursue it.

|
Keep the sparkle in your eyes
O You know, we're all goin' die
Like flyin
Soul times?
For the times when we'll stay unified
|
|
The eyes of Hashem are to the righteous and he
hears their
Soul cry, like an ancient lullaby.

withdraweth not his eyes from the
righteous: but with kings are they on the throne;

are exalted.

righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.

the righteous, and his ears are open unto their
prayers: but the face of the Lord is against
them that do evil.
|
Jerusalem breathes, brining me ease from the
Brooklyn squeeze,
Dirty Babylon bring ya down to ya knees
Trap me like a lion, ___ ? "leave me be"
When they come with their disease to drag us into
the street,
My law's still pure, you can't take that from me,
3000 yrs until this last century,
Impossible to break the seal of the High Priest,
Yo,
I say
The branches on the trees gon bow to these
Swaying to the melodies
Craving for the slaves to bring redemption please
I am you, you are me
No more leaders, we must flee
We want see God in our enemy,
Soul cry, like an ancient lullaby.
