Matisyahu - Chop 'em Down lyrics
[Matisyahu - Chop 'em Down lyrics]
From the forest it'self comes the
Handle for the axe
Split this wilderness, listen
I'm not missing where it's at
Clear a path so that you
Could find your way back
Chop 'em down, chop 'em down
Chop 'em down, chop 'em down
Time flies by like clouds passing in the sky
Lifetimes even gone in the blink of an eye
March through the desert one-step at a time
March through the desert one step at a time
From the forest it'self comes the
Handle for the ax
Drop the staff Moshe Rabbeinu split
The ocean in half
March through the desert this
Ain't where it's at
Chop 'em down, Chop 'em down
Chop 'em down, chop 'em down
Patterns engraved not so easily erased
Still wandering trying to find your place
Playing the game I see pain on your face
Now a day's the Yidden like
Children sold as slaves
Strange ways running through the maze
Strange ways always
Lost in the desert trying to find your way
Lost in the desert trying to find your way
From the forest it'self comes the
Handle for the axe
Split this wilderness, listen
I'm not missing where it's at
Clear a path so that you
Could find your way back
Chop 'em down, chop 'em down
Chop 'em down, chop 'em down
Yosef descended sold as a slave
Thrown into a dungeon cause
He wouldn't be swayed
Interpreted Pharaoh's dreams and
Egypt was saved
Stock piled food for seven years of rain
Then sold to all the nations
When the drought came
Yosef rose to power and the Yidden stayed
They started to build and success was made
Pharaoh is getting worried let's
Make them pay bound in chains
First born was sent down to their graves
Moshe was saved and a prince he was raised
Hashem spoke to him
"Here's a message to relay
Take my Nation from Mitzrayim
(Egypt) I see the suffering"
Hard hearts ego breaks take
Sparks and make way
Trail blaze through the wasteland
Breaking the chains
Last generation just the ruminants
March through the desert leaving footprints
Peel off the lid this is
Just plastic, get into it, get into it
Heavy hitter stepping solid never quitter
Jump into the ocean
Before it split got a jump into it
Rip through Egypt rip through it
Get into it, 600, 000 witnessed it
No you didn't forget
In the spiritual desert things are
Not what they seem
Snakes camouflaged just fit the scene
Put your faith in a mirage
It's just a smoke screen
Took that path, and you know we're in need
Handle for the axe
Split this wilderness, listen
I'm not missing where it's at
Clear a path so that you
Could find your way back
Chop 'em down, chop 'em down
Chop 'em down, chop 'em down
Time flies by like clouds passing in the sky
Lifetimes even gone in the blink of an eye
March through the desert one-step at a time
March through the desert one step at a time
From the forest it'self comes the
Handle for the ax
Drop the staff Moshe Rabbeinu split
The ocean in half
March through the desert this
Ain't where it's at
Chop 'em down, Chop 'em down
Chop 'em down, chop 'em down
Patterns engraved not so easily erased
Still wandering trying to find your place
Playing the game I see pain on your face
Now a day's the Yidden like
Children sold as slaves
Strange ways running through the maze
Strange ways always
Lost in the desert trying to find your way
Lost in the desert trying to find your way
From the forest it'self comes the
Handle for the axe
Split this wilderness, listen
I'm not missing where it's at
Clear a path so that you
Could find your way back
Chop 'em down, chop 'em down
Chop 'em down, chop 'em down
