Matisyahu - Refuge - Live at Stubb's, Austin, TX - February 2005 lyrics
[Matisyahu - Refuge - Live at Stubb's, Austin, TX - February 2005 lyrics]
Yeah this song is also coming
From the psalms of
King David, the Tehillim y'know? Y’know
at that time
we could have a real understanding of a
King y'know? For us we
Don't know so much what’s a kingdom or a
King y'know we live
In-in a world of fragmentation where the
Majority of the people don't
Appreciate or care
About so much the person that's
That's running things y'know? At that
Time the king was the
People, the king was the people
Meaning that all of
The people were a part of the king
The king loved the people
With his whole heart
He would do anything for them he was
Not just a politician but he was a warrior
Y'know a general on the front lines
He would
Die for his people, he was a singer, a
Writer, a poet all these different things
Y'know a real person
Ani auni vevyone hashem yashav
Li ezvaci, umafalti, atau
Said, You have been a refuge for me
A tower of strength in the face of
The enemy enemy enemy yo yo
From the end of the earth unto you I call
Time and again I fall back to you I crawl
You have been a refuge for me
A tower of strength in the face of the
Enemy, enemy, enemy, enemy
Enemy, enemy, enemy
Enemy, enemy, enemy, enemy, enemy, enemy
Lines enemy lines
Find I let myself get caught too many times
Too many times yeah
I give you my heart taking back whats mine
Yeah you save my soul from
The other side yeah oh
From the end of the earth unto you I call
Time and again I fall back to you I crawl
(said) You have been a refuge for me
A tower of strength in the face of the
Enemy, enemy, enemy, enemy
Enemy, enemy, enemy
Enemy enemy yeah yeah aye
With you I smash a troop and with
My God I leap over a wall
May the king answer you
On the day that you call
Stand tall, battle yawl
And the clouds crawl low
Heavens lay draped over New York
City like a prayer shawl
The holy one enthroned upon
The praises of Israel
From the psalms of
King David, the Tehillim y'know? Y’know
at that time
we could have a real understanding of a
King y'know? For us we
Don't know so much what’s a kingdom or a
