Jerusalem
There was nowhere to end
Until someone said "we've begun"
Noone knew how to lose
Until someone shouted "I won"
If all smiles came from the heart
How did pain ever learn where to start
As respect falls under
The clumsy feet of fools
Jerusalem trembles
With walls of tarnished Golden Rules
Remove the burden of each heavy heart
Bathed in light
Let forgiveness start
Reason contradicted
Dispel the doubts and fears
Embrace each man as brother
Listen, in the grace of silence
He is here.
