Jerusalem - Eye of the Universe by Dovid
Music, lyrics and vocals by Dovid (David Green)
Jerusalem - Eye of the Universe is a passionate expression of Dovid's love for the holy city of Jerusalem. The song and video takes you on a tour of the layers of history and modern life of the place also referred to as the eye of the universe, for no matter what happens in Jerusalem, it finds it's way to the front pages of the news papers around the world. Here are the lyrics
Soul of the world
in the heart of the land
together we stand in the
eye of the universe
where G-d meets man
through the joy and the pain
Jerusalem
eye of the universe
City of peace
between the body and the soul
and the heavens and the earth
between one another
and please one day with the nations of the world
like her people pray
no more need to fight
and her G-dly light
will shine even brighter
and revive the life
oh yerushalayim
CHORUS
I can't explain
but I've never felt this way
Ive gotta kiss the ground cause I'm overwhelmed
Im in love with this ancient city
theres something in the air
I never felt anywhere
tell me why
Im feeling more alive
with every step I take
as I make my way
to the heart of the holy city
and i touch the wall of stone
like it's a part of my bones
and with a gentle kiss I know
I finally found my way home
the prophets and the kings
in the temple worshiping
together we will sing in the
eye of the universe
Layers of living
Timeless city
I can't believe I'm witnessing
centuries in the history of my soul
