Late Night In Zion
Matisyahu
Text File
C G
We're the reflection of imperfection,
D G
We come from the infinite place of limitation.
C G
Rejoice in these days, make a correction,
D G
We're the completion.
C G
Lights out, down for the count, can't get up
D G
Meanwhile the enemy screams the boy is stuck,
C G
and the legs of the king are dangling in a rut
D G
Falling pieces, lost sparks, hearts cut.
C
We're not alone in the madness,
G
if we're here, then so are you,
D
Deepest caverns underground,
G
we've been searching for the truth,
C G D G
Scrape my knees, on the hurdles, face down in the puddles.
C G
The only one who'll get us out of this mess,
D
The one who put us here.
G
I've got a spear driven through my ear,
C
Can't you hear the sound, crystal clear,
G
Pistols smashing chandeliers.
D G
Long for brooks of water like the deer.
[CHORUS: 2x]
C
A man is just a man,
Filled of faults and weakness,
G
For a young Jerusalem all alone and speechless.
D
Nighttime, nobody's home, roam streets in darkness.
C
I feel I'm just a man, flesh and bones, homeless.
C G
Planting seeds, they won't sink in.
D G
I'm dried up, like the desert earth, how could these seeds give birth.
C G
Water me down, liquify, I will not be cursed.
D G
From one into a million disperse.
C G
Wisdom reigns like water from heaven to below.
D G
Crush my earth, seeds sow, garden start to grow.
C G
You know you've got to rise, though you like to flow.
D G
You can't keep staring out the window.
C G
Earth, water, wind, fire we stay low while getting higher.
D
Spark igniter, fighting tired
G
Stay wired, enlighten loads.
C G
Stay alive, weep wail chant, cry, let out a sigh
D G
Energized, give out my last dime, life shouldn't pass me by.
C G
Rise, to the occasion.
D
Keep these hearts all blazin.
G
Build your life on a river of wax.
C G D
Melt into space, we've been here since the beginning, not going away.
G
Not going away.....
[CHORUS]
