• Capo on 1st

E       A
Mist rising on the horizon

 E              B
Listenin’ with my ears and listenin’ with my eyes and

 C#m                   G#m
Listenin’ until we've ridden the mud from the parasite

 A                      B
Listenin’ until our hearts start to glisten, realize

 E                      A
Share the vision and my rhythms and we'll melt the ice

 E                      B
Start sizzlin’, spilling from the ceiling, bread dripping drizzling

 C#m                 G#m
Close to the broken-heart, them crushed in spirit

  A            B
Redeem the soul of your servant seek his, pursue it

 E             A
Keep the sparkle in your eyes

              E
Oh you know, we're not gon die, like flyin’

   B                C#m
Soul times for the times when we'll stay unified

   G#m              A               B
The eyes of Hashem are to the righteous and he hears their


Chorus:

 E  A   E  A  E  A          E     A
  Soul cry,   like an ancient lullaby

 E   A   E   A          E     A  E  A
Soul cry,    like an ancient lullaby


  E                A
Jerusalem breathes, bringin’ me ease from the Brooklyn squeeze,

 E               B
Dirty boppin’ and a bring ya down to ya knees

 C#m            G#m
Track ya like a lion, leave me be

      A                  B
When they come with their disease to drag us into the street,

  E               A
My law's still pure, you can't take that from me,

 E            B
3000 years until this last century,

  C#m            G#m            A  B
Impossible to break the seal of the High Priest,

        E              A
Yo, I say the branches on the trees them bow to these

     E
Swaying to the melodies,

 B                  C#m
Craving for the slaves to bring redemption please

   G#m
I am you, you are me

     A                  B
No more leaders, we must flea ,We want see God in our enemy
