The Chill Out Season Vol. 2 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where do we go from here
Where to go
To the side of a hill
Blood was spill
We were still looking
At each other
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Shout, shout
With a shout, shout it out
Shout, shout it out
I want to go
To the foot of the messiah
To the foot of he who made me see
To the side of a hill
Where we were still
We were filled
With our love
We're gonna be there again
Jerusalem, whoa, Jerusalem
Jerusalem, whoa, Jerusalem, whoa
Jerusalem, Jerusalem
Jerusalem
Shout, shout
With a shout
Shout
With a shout
