Matisyahu Album

My soul thirsts for you
My flesh longs for you
In a land parched and weary
With no water

So too in the sanctuary
To have beheld you
Your might
And your glory

You quench my thirsting soul and you fill my appetite
I give myself to you because you treat me right
Put my trust in the world and the world gets tight
Shift my trust to you it's like a crystal clear night
Expand in all directions get the sections to unite
Hashem's rays fire blaze light my way light of my life
And these days well wait no longer night
reaching for my G-d like skyscrapers in the night
I said I know its hard inside is empty galus (exile) cuts like a knife
Internalize torah vibes bound to feel alright

Chorus:
Whirlwind of praise from below to above
Take flight in the sky got wings like a dove,
Soaring to shamayim (heaven) where the angels call in love
And the glory of Hashem fits like a glove

Hashem rules the world and Israel is his wife
Love you yes my G-d with all my heart my soul and my might
When I feel you by my side yes I'm flying like a kite
You open up my eyes and give me sight
Super energized and everyday I feel you give me life
I seen the ways of the world intoxifying on pride
Young man don't you know drugs impurify your mind
When Israel left mitzrayim four fifths got left behind
If you got no water how you gonna survive
Roots lead you to the well springs so you could stay alive
Pharaoh claimed to be a G-d and claimed to make the Nile
A crocodile could smile and show his teeth
You could see beauty shining externally but that's the story of Greece
Inside America bleeds, Israel won't you get up from your knees
Its just lies in disguise Torah's truth won't you please realize
Given to the humble one on Mt. Sinai

Chorus

Shma Y'sroel, Hashem Elokainu, Hashem Echad
(Hear Israel, the lord is our G-d, the lord is one)

The world could just crumble to dust its just us it's not two it's just one
The middle road called truth, Torah you sooth my brain bruise
Open up peruse with knowledge of G-d
And move up an arousal from below till the secrets start to ooze
Don't snooze it's pure light the most high wants us alive
What's the proof?
We got life!
Chabad philosophy that's the deepest well-spring
Gaining knowledge of G-d while your gaining money
Fill up yourself with the light of his majesty
In a world of separation that's the only way to be
It's time we leave we won't flee just walk out easily

If you got no water how you gonna survive

Chorus

The world is moving to the song I hear,
Who's that singing, wind is rushing in my ear,
Mind gushing memories almost lost everything,
Felony and fellows running in my dream,
We were in the van where the hits were driving,
Saw myself In the highlands at age 13
And I'm asking questions to the present day me,
Moving backwards down the hill see we were posting.

[Chorus]
Moonlight illuminate my night and my days sunray make the people say
And a vision something's missing so they're screaming out loud
Keep my feet on ground and my head in the clouds.
I'm the arrow, you're my bow, shoot me forth and I will go
And I know and I go and I go get up and go
Make me feel its for real tell me what you know.

I don't need to glorify,
Ate the apple of the tree and tried to lie,
In the garden ill remember
That's when I started to sing
I said death brings life into uncertain things,
Cut some slack for me
Sun setting autumn breeze
Sound is moving like a chorus
Keep hearing that melody,
Check the radio but theres nothing playing,
Check the radio again but theres nothing playing.

[Chorus]

Rewind…

Dub-wise!

Swing low, sweet chariot of flames
Change my name, Yo!
It Was always the same,
Till if only what you find when you climb,
Check the radio but of all that shines there's no time,
My life is making your mind work in overtime,
But along the line you'll have to pay for the crime.
Slow it down You turbo too soon,
Vroom vroom then you want to blast off unto the moon,
But you might get trapped in a temple of doom,
You might get trapped in a temple of doom.

[No lyrics]

Some of them come now
Some of the running
Some of them looking for fun
Some of them looking for away out of confusion
Some of them don't know where to be
Some of them don't know where to go
Some of them trust their instincts
That somethings missing from the show
Some don't fit society
Their insides are crying low
Some of them teachers squashed the flame
'fore it had a chance to grow
Some of them embers still glow
Them charcoal hushed and low
Some of them come with hunger supressed
Not fed them feel the death blow, yo
CHORUS:
Young man control in your hand
Slam your fist on the table
And make your demand
Take a stand
Fan a fire for the flame of the youth
Got the freedom to choose
You better make the right move
Young man, the power's in your hand
Slam your fist on the table and make your demand
You better make the right move
"youth is the engine of the world"
Storm the halls of vanity
Focus your energy
Into a laser beam
Streaming shattered light
Unites to pierce between the seams
And it seems
The world open peering
The children see
Rapid fire for your mind
Half a truth is just a lie
They rub me the wrong way
They say their way or fall behind
Seventeen disconnect left out
The concept as to why
There's a spiritual emptiness
So the youth them get vexed
Skip class and get wrecked
Feel with beer and cigarettes
To fill the hole in their chest!

I can't stop drop and roll
Fire been burning out of control
And burning keep the hearts all yearning
And the heads them keep on turning

I dig in, I dig in and sinking my teeth in
Spit fire 'cause I'm the last dragon
Knock, knock them down sizzling with a vision
New York City to Jerusalem

Concrete jungle burn down Babylon
'Cause a simple man am I
With my chest up to the sky
When I walk by, my talk rides high like the wind rewind

I'll be by your side when nighttime it runs on
And the children they ride high
I'll be standing on the sun
Burn into the light, burn into the sun

Find these lines that climb from inside
The dream in between, the words you might
Hear me slur as the vision it blurs

And the sun sets you don't know who to follow
And the path that they passed seems shallow
You never know where you might go
But the seed that you plant is the seed that you sew

And rain down at midnight I ride my bike
King with my broken crown
Brooklyn Bridge to Crown Heights

Sit back
And in these days
Remember my ways
Oh will i get out of my cage?
Yes i am a slave

Searching for some freedom
Searching for some freedom

So intend to sing them
Songs to spark, memories
What is a man with no history?
Where am i ?
Who am i ?
What is this place?,
We're just spinning in space

I will be light
I will be light
I will be light
I will be light

Time will continue without you
So in the end
Its not about you
But,
What did you do?
Who do you love besides you
Beside you, many died in the name of vanity
Many die,in their mind’s eye, for justice
We die for you
And still do
So i say to you
This is nothing new

I will be light
I will be light
I will be light
I will be light

Its/In one tiny moment in time
For life to shine, to shine
Burn away the darkness

You’ve got one tiny moment in time
x7 For life to shine, to shine
To burn away the darkness

I will be light
I will be light
I will be light
I will be light light light light
I will be light
I will be light light light light

The world is dyin the world is cryin the world goes blind while the boy is lyin
The house is burnin the children mourning their father's death while world it keeps turning
One more day of pain has passed while he lies in the sand on his back lookin through the cracks in the sky sunsets and all drowns in twilight
The desert stretches on for one more day
The girl pleads to him don't go away
His lips they move but got nothing to say stares blankly threw her face recollection of his brothers as they played
The world is black the earth is cracked a child with no arms lyin on his back no where to go in the middle of this cold in the middle of this earth spinnin out of control
Did i have moments that were worth living for i took the gun they gave me through it down on the floor they chopped off my arms threw me out of the door i am a murderer
Runnin in the desert runnin into the the sun runnin out of blood and i'm goin numb i'm runnin and you're runnin and we're runnin on empty
I'm runnin in this maze till i reach the sea my heart burns up inside of me burnt and charred from this desert heat my heart burns up inside of me and the pain with in is the pain outside the desert right here is a reflection of my life just as brutal as i am the sun me and the desert we are one i am a murderer

Only the dead souls know i'm alive they want me to lie down by their side these are the demons that passed through my life that killed me over a thousand times
I don't run i don't flee i don't fight i don't make fun but don't flex my might i don't act dumb but don't shine my light i sit down on the ground till the time is right
They seek my demise and rely on my dark side to give into the night all those desperate ghosts stuck souls trapped in black holes became wearwolves stolen souls wanna see me bleed
It's a new day a new way, it's gone it's dooms day for those who hold on to old ways your grip is so strong you choke and you swallow and leave the place torn so tread lightly no need to fight me no need to be right it's so frightening soul like dust and flash like lightning i slip through your grip cause you hold so tightly i didn't stop nah i'm just becoming i'm not finished nah i'm just arriving i'm not done don't know where i'm going not afraid not to know and keep growing once you know you're dead and not living and that wisdom to know while your breathing

[No lyrics]

Sometimes I lay under the moon
And I thank God I'm breathing
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 someday it'll all turn around because

All my life I been waiting for
I been prayin for
For the people to say
That we don't want to fight no more
They'll be no more wars
And our children will play

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 moving though the waters stay raging and in this life you may lose your way, it might drive you crazy but don't let it phase you no way

Pre-chorus
Chorus

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 singing songs of freedom like…

Raise the gate, motivate the place
Take a taste as we blaze on through the fate
Clean slate, move on, chant all night long
Gonna sing my song 'til the early morn

When the moon shines down all upon the land
This ain't no game and this ain't no scam
I ran from BK unto Japan
From Israel to the Holy Land

Open up and breathe in now out shout out loud
Won't you let it all out, spit fountains?
Whether day or night shine bright
When I fly through the night

Would you leave it all behind?
Revelation wake in the morning
To find you waiting even in a desperation
Feel something that's embracing

Revelation wake in the morning
Even in a desperation
Even in this desperation
Even in a desolation

Got to trail my path, slash page combat with a glass
Intact, no react and stack build up the nation
Can't replace them and a youth them gone invasion
It's a journey , I'm a wandering soul

Speak up on the unspoken and a pour out
The timeless suffering and lift up on the curtain
Spin on the wheels of creation
I'm a searching, I'm a searching search light
When the time is right and the night is ripe

Would you leave it all behind?
Revelation wake in the morning
To find you waiting even in a desperation
Feel something that's embracing

Revelation wake in the morning
Even in a desperation
Even in this desperation
Even in a desolation

Catch the arrows filled with poison
