No longer need to hide it I've found out who I am I'm moved around in circles I rise and fall again
I know it well Every word I tell Seems to make no sense at all
Words Will heal it Love Will conquer the Hearts of the hopeless the almighty is still alive
Risin' up from the heart of the desert Risin' up from Jerusalem Risin' up from the heat of the desert Building up old Jerusalem Risin' up from the heart of the desert Risin' up from Jerusalem Risin' up from the heat of the desert Heading out for Jerusalem
I've gone beyond but there's no life And there is nothing how it seems I've gone beyond but there's no life There is no healing rain in Eden The empty barren wasted paradise Let's celebrate the dawning of the Sun
I turn to you oh my precious Jerusalem Deny your prophets their passion and treat them like fools I turn to you oh my poor old Jerusalem Deny my love but you can't change fate
Son of man (You truly are mine)
Can't stand the pain No more grief and misery It goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on
Father stop it now We must stop it now
You really think you are half way up I would not mind if you were right (It's not sure) I'd rather say you are half way down So I am going to help you if I can
I've been caught in wilderness in wilderness I've get out well I found myself in desert lands in desert lands But you've been on my mind
I turn to you oh my precious Jerusalem Deny your prophets their passion and treat them like fools I turn to you oh my poor old Jerusalem Deny my love but you can't change truth
Rise up and follow me cause I will bring the light Rise up and follow me wake up and clear your mind I try to bring it back the seed of life I try to bring it back the seal of light
So if you say there's no faith in man You better keep in mind That I can read between the lines My heavy burden brings eyesight to the blind
I've been caught in wilderness in wilderness I've get out well I found myself in desert lands in desert lands But you've been on my mind
I turn to you oh my precious Jerusalem Deny your prophets their passion and treat them like fools I turn to you oh my poor old Jerusalem Deny my love but you can't change me
