《Oh Jerusalem(Live)》歌词

[00:00:01] Oh Jerusalem - Lauryn Hill

[00:00:11] Oh Jerusalem yeah oh Jerusalem oh Jerusalem oh Jerusalem

[00:00:33] Realizing that there's no place else to go

[00:00:38] And there's nobody I know who can help me

[00:00:43] Text book solutions are so improbable

[00:00:48] Cuz everybody else is just as empty

[00:00:54] Naked as the day that I was born I tried to hide

[00:00:59] Behind education and philosophy

[00:01:04] Hopeless explanation to describe a situation

[00:01:09] I can't see because the world's on top of me

[00:01:15] Oh wretched man that I am who will deliver me

[00:01:20] From the body of this death

[00:01:25] Freeing me from dust and the superficial trust

[00:01:30] Of an enemy that seeks to take my breath

[00:01:36] Failing to connect cuz I'm morally defect

[00:01:41] By reason of the God inside my head

[00:01:46] Causing me to see only what pertains to me

[00:01:51] Believing I'm alive when I'm still dead

[00:01:57] Limited to earth unable to find out my worth

[00:02:01] Cuz I can't see past my own vanity

[00:02:07] If I'm not included then I just have to remove it

[00:02:12] From my mind because it has to be in sanity

[00:02:18] Oh wretched man that I am who will deliver me

[00:02:23] From the body of this death

[00:02:28] Can I even factor that I've only been an actor

[00:02:33] In this staged interpretation of this day

[00:02:38] Focused on the shadow with my back turned to the light

[00:02:43] Too intelligent to see it's me in the way

[00:02:49] What a paradox having God trapped in a box

[00:02:54] All this time professing to be spiritual

[00:02:59] Naturally pretending that I'm actually defending

[00:03:05] God ( ) don't need material

[00:03:10] Oh Jerusalem wash thy heart from wickedness

[00:03:15] That thou may be saved from thy deception

[00:03:20] How long shall thy face those lies within thee

[00:03:25] Oh Jerusalem keeping thee from perfection

[00:03:31] Submit to truth leave the deception of thy youth

[00:03:35] So we could walk in the council of authority

[00:03:41] Forget the proof our generation so aloof

[00:03:46] Only follow in the steps of the majority

[00:03:51] Trust in the Lord with all thy heart

[00:03:55] And lay not to thine oh an understanding in all thy ways

[00:04:02] Acknowledge Him and He shall correct our paths

[00:04:07] Be ( ) you can follow him

[00:04:12] We judge and condemn just as ignorant as them

[00:04:17] Who religion tells us that we should ignore

[00:04:23] Perpetrating we're in covenant with Him

[00:04:27] Exposed by the very things that we adore

[00:04:32] We grin and shake hands then lay ambush for the man

[00:04:37] Who has a different point of view then us

[00:04:43] Infuriated cuz he doesn't understand

[00:04:48] Bringing up those things we don't want to discuss

[00:04:53] Why still do evil we don't know how to do good

[00:04:58] Walking on in darkness running from the light ey

[00:05:04] Led to believe because we live in neighborhoods

[00:05:09] Telling us what's going on will be alright

[00:05:14] Oh so repressed so convinced that I was blessed

[00:05:19] When I played with my game of Monopoly

[00:05:24] Oh to suggest that my life is still a mess

[00:05:30] Who reveal the pride I'm hiding is what's stopping me

[00:05:35] Oh Jerusalem wash thy heart from wickedness

[00:05:40] That thou may be saved from thy deception

[00:05:46] How long shall thy face those lies within thee

[00:05:50] Oh Jerusalem keeping them from perfection

[00:05:57] Abide in me and I in you as the branch cannot bare

[00:06:01] Fruit of itself except in the vine

[00:06:06] I am the vine ye are the branches He's in live in me

[00:06:12] And I in him the same bring forth much fruit

[00:06:17] Without me you can do nothing

[00:06:20] Oh Jerusalem you're traditions have deceived you

[00:06:28] I've chosen you you haven't chosen me

[00:06:31] Do whatsoever you asking my name he may give to you

[00:06:38] But in vain they call my name

[00:06:41] Teaching doctrines just the same

[00:06:43] Justified among themselves

[00:06:49] But God know with the heart what man esteemed as smart

[00:06:54] Is an abomination to Emmanuel

[00:07:00] Just repent turn from selfish motivation

[00:07:05] So iniquity will not cause your demise

[00:07:10] Make you a new heart and a new spirit for why would he die

[00:07:16] Oh Jerusalem please tell me why

[00:07:21] I have no pleasure in the death of him to die

[00:07:25] Says the Lord God where forth turn yourselves and live

[00:07:30] It's not the talkers but the walkers and his word

[00:07:35] Are the only ones the Father will forgive

[00:07:41] Oh Jerusalem wash thy heart from wickedness

[00:07:46] That thou may be saved from thy deception

[00:07:52] How long shall thy face those lies within thee

[00:07:56] Oh Jerusalem providing you no protection

[00:08:01] Oh Jerusalem

[00:08:11] Oh Jerusalem
