Open the Gates - Matisyahu

Like david with his stone, knocked goliath of his throne

There’s nothing i can’t do, cause i believe in you

And this world of stress, obstacles and tests

I will do my best, and leave the next world for my rest

You wanna dance with the devil, tread up on the revel

Livin like a rebel, wanna revel in the treble

While you jump another level, yeah you wanna get high

But dont wanna pay the price, wanna slice through the night

Sit back and feel nice, carry snakes around your neck

I reckon get born to the life where the mornin shines on

Got to keep your feet up on the ground

When the beat drops down, ain’t no time to clown around

This ain’t my city, this ain’t my town

I’m a stranger in a strange land with a strange sound

Must’ve been found, been wonderin all around

Time travellin with my crown, buried deep under the ground

Like david with his stone, knocked goliath of his throne

There’s nothing i can’t do, when i believe in you

And this world of stress, obstacles and tests

Oh i will do my best, and leave the next world to my rest

Just like time, i’m on a windy road

Got to get where im going, got to get up and go

Heavy hands we stand, and go for an overflow

I ran the land, just like the ego

In search of the sea, and the sand

But the fire in the sky ran out, mount and scraped the sun

The only light is the one, that shines inside

As the time evaporates, yeah the time goes by

Days move on some come some go

All along i walk with flow

Nowhere i know, nothing at all

When the kingdom falls, still sing to god

Step back and let go of it all

Under attack i learn to stand tall

But the night time stalls, and the sun don’t rise and fall

Like david with his stone, knocked goliath of his throne

There’s nothing i can’t do, when i believe in you

And this world of stress, obstacles and tests

Oh i will do my best, and leave the next world for my rest

(awesome and holy jam section)

Urge us to praise, praise, praise, praise, prays, prays…

Open up the gates…

Open up the gates, of righteousness

Open, gates, of righteousness

Open, gates, of righteousness

We’ll be comin home…

(more applause)

Babylon your gonna go down down down

Babylon your gonna go down

I said i hear the words our higher man say

Babylon your gonna go down down down

Babylon your gonna go down

Said one bright morning when my work is over, im gonna fly away home

One bright morning when my work is over, im gonna fly away home

I said ill fly, away home, to zion

Fly away home

I said ill fly away home to zion

Fly away home

One day…

One day, one day this all will change, treat the people all the same
