Matisyahu - 7 Beggars lyrics

In the beginning of time Before the mountains were made Before the sky split HaShem sits In peace and harmony Creates the space for a new baby We stay empty in the vision of a king For his dream to manifest in we Princes and priests will become Run and emerge as the surge flows like rain To see it, to see the day to come When the king will look into his kingdom Into my being, and see his self happy Believe in me- I believe in we This is the story of the seven beggars Trying to get back on an eagle's feathers Looking for a place to be born Amongst the sons and daughters To get back to you, get back to you There was an ocean And there was a boat It ran into the waves and the rocks and it broke From the debris Was made the ocean and sky Over the sea lies the ancient smile So the great eagle smiles You, you, me, we are the same You, who remembers all the while All the way back before the cord was cut Before the leaves Before the trees Before the seas And the black ocean breeze Before the great storm Wandering in this world Waiting for a day to be born This is the story of the seven beggars Trying to get back on an eagle's feathers Looking for a place to be born Amongst the sons and daughters Get back to you, get back to you And you try to fill yourself up with all this stuff To fill the hole; I'm trying to FEEL the hole No reason to talk if you ain't got what to say And besides, everything is okay You know that place where you'd run away? Well it's time to stay Time to be hungry Before the beginning Before this song Before right and wrong Before Adam and Eve Above space and time Above reason and rhyme Above circles and lines Before the clock start tickin' We were lost at sea (in the boat) Waves crash around me (fire and stone) This is the story of the seven beggars Trying to get home on an eagle's feathers Looking for a place to be born Amongst the sons and daughters Get back to you, Get back now, and get it back Go on and get it back
