Reaching Jerusalem

Let's look to the hands of the weak For the scars of more genuine living I'm stuck in this intellectual rut Trying to find an explanation In the wrong language Weak at the knees but strong At the top of my spine Oh Solomon, who am I kidding? I'm doubting like a philistine (behold thy walls Jerusalem...) My throat is sore from crying and my bed is wet with tears I have no stone tablet for anyone So tell me why Are you waiting for me to give you textbook answers Before you start to move? I can't secure Your fading wealth because it sickens me So let us part the clouds And start your mind in a fresh day And put aside the things you learned Let's stretch out our fingers And we might Just get to that promised land Before we suck it's life away And so we're reaching Trying to shift the focus from the world to myself And those around me who i love And so we're reaching Trying to conceive the size of lightyears And trying to save the world that sustains us And yes we're reaching One building block at a time Until the roofs of our houses disrupt jerusalem So nearly reaching So close and yet so far Just one last tear-stained exertion to get to that elusive contact
