The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
No Christmas celebrations in Bethlehem this year Now the river Jordan is overflowing with sorrow and tears I can hear the sirens singing their melancholy song Oh mother Jerusalem where did we go wrong Oh sweet Jerusalem the source of righteousnes wisdom and light Where are all your holy pilgrims kneeling before you tonight Once the word was love from the ancient teachers and preachers Mother Jerusalem where are now all the peace seekers The Bible the Torah and the Koran Words of God twisted by the conceits of man Timeless messages carried on the deserts breeze Now all I can hear are the sounds of desperate pleas Oh mother Jerusalem why o why Must your son's and daughter's continue to die Why can't we live together all as one Under one god all under the same sun Oh Jerusalem the city full of holy ghosts Two thousand years later still fighting to see who loves him the most Please shine your light from the darkness Oh mother Jerusalem the source of righteousnes wisdom and light May the words of love and peace for all once again shine bright
