Matisyahu - Vow Of Silence (Shalom) lyrics

Adam ate the apple, Eve talked to the snake Sara died while her son was on a stake Rivka taught Jacob how to manipulate Take what you want, destiny can change Brothers get jealous, hearts filled with hate Josef makes dreams with his finger on their fate David wants a flower and a flower he takes Sending men to their d**h - is it ever too late? Simon, Reuven and Levi, they can't control their rage They k** everybody after Dina gets raped Nobody's perfect, hope you can relate Avraham take a stand, how could you send them away? Yevorechecho Adonai Veishmerecho Yoair Adonai Ponov Elecho Vyichuneko Isso Adonai Ponov Elecho Veyosaim Lecho Shalom Shalom Shalom Yevorechecho Moshe hit the rock, teach me to talk Watch the way they laugh, look at how they gawk Don't let em get ya down, circle high like a hawk I know you're on your hunt like a mountain lion stalk Trading money for seeds, give 'em what you got Wrestling with the giants, Jake and the beanstalk Invest in the heavens, I know you want a lot Potholes, fishing lines, you keep getting caught When the pressure's all around you and ya keep cavin' in I know you wanna conquer, want to be a champion I know you hate to lose, you only want to win But that's not how it goes in this world we're livin' in Can't stop their goals, this is sink or swim Trust your instincts, gotta trust your vision Jump into the water, move quick with your fins We been through so much now, I can't give in Yevorechecho Adonai Veishmerecho Yoair Adonai Ponov Elecho Vyichuneko Isso Adonai Ponov Elecho Veyosaim Lecho Shalom Shalom Shalom I know it doesn't matter What I say to you You gotta be who you are Ain't that the truth I love the way you sparkle Representing for the Jews Shalom my son Peace unto you With your kippah and your tzitzit My little man lookin' so neat Swingin' for the hills They can't knock you off your feet Ice cold like the snow or the hail or some sleet, I repeat Slip through there fingers Stay away from these creeps You're a fighter, you're a lighter Little brother gettin' tougher They won't touch ya, they can't cut ya You're a ninja slayin' dragons Nunchucks and throwing stars Smoke bombs and race cars My little guy livin' large Showin' them who's in charge I know it's tough, I know it's hard Tryin' to prove yourself Can't be an easy job Moshe hit the rock You gotta learn how to talk You wanna make it in the promise land Stand inside the chalk Talk to the water Talk to the sheep Talk to the gra** And the dirt beneath Let yourself cry Let yourself weep But fend for yourself When ya out on the street Stand tall, be big Or the lions will eat The wolves will feed To them you're just meat They wanna sink their teeth And drink ya blood so sweet You're a prince, don't you know My number one Scorpio So grab your sword and your shield Grab your arrows and your bow It's time Where can we go To find some place Where we won't need to blow Show 'em what you know Show the children what you know Shalom, shalom Show the children what you know Show 'em all what you know Shalom, shalom How to shoot sparks That sparkle in the rain Light flames To you it's all the same
