I disse mindre lyse tider, for meg iallefall, hjelper det med litt hasidisk gla’reggae.

Matisyahu med kosesangen Jerusalem (Out of Darkness Comes Light):

In the ancient days, we will return with no delay
Picking up the bounty and the spoils on our way
We’ve been traveling from state to state
And them don’t understand what they say
3,000 years with no place to be
And they want me to give up my milk and honey
Don’t you see, it’s not about the land or the sea
Not the country but the dwelling of his majesty

Jerusalem, if I forget you,
fire not gonna come from me tongue.
Jerusalem, if I forget you,
let my right hand forget what it’s supposed to do.

Rebuild the temple and the crown of glory
Years gone by, about sixty
We were Burned in the oven in this century
And the gas tried to choke, but it couldn’t choke me
I will not lie down, I will not fall asleep
They come overseas, yes they’re trying to be free

Erase the demons out of your memory
Change your name and your identity
Afraid of the past and our dark history
Why is everybody always chasing we
Cut off the roots of your family tree
Don’t you see that’s not the way to be

Jerusalem, if I forget you,
fire not gonna come from me tongue.
Jerusalem, if I forget you,
let my right hand forget what it’s supposed to do.

Caught up in these ways, and the worlds gone craze
Don’t you know it’s just a phase
Case of the Simon says
If I forget the truth then my words won’t penetrate
Babylon burning in the place, can’t see through the haze
Chop down all of them dirty ways,
That’s the price that you pay for selling lies to the youth
No way, not ok, oh no way, not ok, hey

Ain’t no-one gon’ break my stride,
Ain’t no-one that can hold me down,
Oh no,
I’ve got to keep moving

Ain’t no-one that could break my stride,
Ain’t no-one that can hold me down,
Oh no,
I’ve got to keep on moving
Stay alive

Jerusalem, if I forget you,
fire not gonna come from me tongue.
Jerusalem, if I forget you,
let my right hand forget what it’s supposed to do.

Yay!
