Matisyahu Open The Gates
Like David with his stone, knocked Goliath of his throne there's nothing I can't do, cause i believe in you and this world of stress, obstacles and tests I will do my best, and leave the next world for my rest.
You wanna dance with the devil, tread up on the revel Livin like a rebel, wanna revel in the treble While you jump another level, yeah you wanna get high But dont wanna pay the price, wanna slice through the night Sit back and feel nice, carry snakes around your neck I reckon get born to the life where the mornin shines on Got to keep your feet up on the ground When the beat drops down, ain't no time to clown around This ain't my city, this ain't my town I'm a stranger in a strange land with a strange sound Must've been found, been wonderin all around Time travellin with my crown, buried deep under the ground.
Like David with his stone, knocked Goliath of his throne There's nothing I can't do, when i believe in you And this world of stress, obstacles and tests Oh I will do my best, and leave the next world to my rest.
Just like time, I'm on a windy road Got to get where im going, got to get up and go Heavy hands we stand, and go for an overflow I ran the land, just like the ego In search of the sea, and the sand But the fire in the sky ran out, mount and scraped the sun The only light is the one, that shines inside As the time evaporates, yeah the time goes by Days move on some come some go All along I walk with flow Nowhere I know, nothing at all When the kingdom falls, still sing to God Step back and let go of it all Under attack I learn to stand tall But the night time stalls, and the sun don't rise and fall.
Like David with his stone, knocked Goliath of his throne There's nothing I can't do, when i believe in you And this world of stress, obstacles and tests Oh I will do my best, and leave the next world for my rest.
