RHYTHM SAFARI

JERICHO

 

You are a dreamer of reams walking

A lonely shore

Dream if you will but remember there are

Iron laws

However much you seek to solve this mystery

No on e ignores the iron vice of history

All those gone before dreamed of escape

They tried to fly over the palisades

 

Chorus:

Standing at the gates

This is Jericho

And the walls reach up to the stars

And outside we were singing psalms

Such a strange, strange place

For we are the prisoners

Of the prisoners we have taken

And the prophet’s dreams are now forsaken

 

Sing me the songs of a world that

I once knew

Recall the legends once so proud and true

My people used to live here not so long ago

But the fled into the night and I was left alone

I guard these walls for you and me

Dream on, sail on my memory

 

Chorus:
