MATISYAHU

One Day

Sometimes I lay under the moon

And thank God I'm breathin'

Then I pray, "Don't take me soon

'Cause I am here for a reason."

Sometimes in my tears I drown

But I never let it get me down

So when negativity surrounds

I know some day it'll all turn around because

All my life I've been waitin' for

I've been prayin' for

For the people to say

That we don't wanna fight no more

There'll be no more war

And our children will play

One day, one day, one day,

It's not about win or lose, 'cause we all lose

When they feed on the souls of the innocent

Blood-drenched pavement

Keep on movin' though the waters stay ragin'

In this maze

You can lose your way, your way

It might drive you crazy but

Don't let it faze you, no way, no way!

Sometimes in my tears I drown

…..

One day this all will change, treat people the same

Stop with the violence, down with the hate

One day we'll all be free, and proud to be

Under the same sun, singin' songs of freedom like

All my life …..


King Without a Crown

You're all that I have and you're all that I need

Each and every day I pray to get to know you please

I want to be close to you, yes I'm so hungry

You're like water for my soul when it gets thirsty

Without you there's no me

You're the air that I breathe

Sometimes the world is dark and I just can't see

With these, demons surround all around to bring me down to negativity

But I believe, yes I believe, I said I believe

I'll stand on my own two feet

Won't be brought down on one knee

Fight with all of my might and get these demons to flee

Hashem's rays fire blaze burn bright and I believe

Out of darkness comes light, twilight unto the heights

Crown Heights burnin' up all through till midnight

Said, thank you to my God, now I finally got it right

And I'll fight with all of my heart, and all a' my soul, and all a' my might

What's this feeling?

My love will rip a hole in the ceiling

Givin' myself to you from the essence of my being

Sing to my god all these songs of love and healing

Want Moshiach now so it's time we start revealing

Strip away the layers and reveal your soul

Got to give yourself up and then you become whole

You're a slave to yourself and you don't even know

You want to live the fast life but your brain moves slow

If you're trying to stay high then you're bound to stay low

You want God but you can't deflate your ego

If you're already there then there's nowhere to go

If you're cup's already full then its bound to overflow

If you're drowning in the water's and you can't stay afloat

Ask Hashem for mercy and he'll throw you a rope

You're looking for help from God you say he couldn't be found

Looking up to the sky and searchin' beneath the ground

Like a King without his Crown

Yes, you keep fallin' down

You really want to live but can't get rid of your frown

Tried to reach unto the heights and wound bound down on the ground

Given up your pride and the you heard a sound

Out of night comes day and out of day comes light

Nullified to the One like sunlight in a ray,

Makin' room for his love and a fire gone blaze

Makin' room for his love and a fire gone blaze

What's this feeling?

…..

And see, I lift up my eyes where my help come from

And I seen it circling around from the mountain

Thunder!

You feel it in your chest

You keep my mind at ease and my soul at rest

You're not vexed

When I look to the sky where my help come from

And I've seen it circling around from the mountain

Thunder!

You feel it in your chest
