Capo 1
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

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
Chorus
