Lyrics Reservoir - Matisyahu

Reservoir

I just wanna talk to You now
This is for the One
You kept me alive
And so I thank You
Moses is on his way down town
Yoshua maintaining the fountain
Right about now I should be over Chicago, lights out the window
Levee breaks, flow like diamonds
All these babies crying, ideas flying around
It’s time to come down from the mountain
Welcome home, just stick to the plan
But how can I be like the stars and sand?
It’s only man who commands
He put this one in our hands
Two tabs of stone, I’m alone while these fans keep circling
Over the land like helicopter blades, I crave some breeze
Will you wait, wait for me, please?
Forty days and forty nights, but I can’t stand much more
So you think you understand what’s pure and impure?
Now it’s pouring my soul on the floor
You think ya know so much, that I’m so out of touch
I tossed in the crutch to the אֵשׁ תָּמִיד
I walk with a limp, with a wound that bleeds
While all these animals feed with their envy and greed
Smoke marijuana seed
Wanna chop this tree
Cut me down, pressure to concede
And give in to what they believe is me
But I’ma fight, I’m a light, I’m the glory of the King
I’m the song that you sing, the melody that you bring
Sharp teeth and venom that stings not gonna bring me to my knees
I’m a fish in this here sea, evil eye won’t get at me
I just want to finish this thing
Not gonna bring me to my knees
I’m going down, down to go up
From the pits to מצרים, from the dungeon to the kingdom
To my stage offering, can’t give up and won’t give in
I am the blood of Jacob and I’ll keep struggling
Like Joseph, my brothers wanna sell me out
I had the dream, time to leave the doubt
Multicolored coat with blood on my sleeves
Best believe it ain’t from no beasts
Got no car, I walked around this reservoir
This is David’s heart, rainbow-colored cry
From the end to the start, this is David’s heart
A rainbow-colored cry from the end to the start
Phantoms and ghosts, raise your glass and make a toast
This is for the One
שהחינו‎
הקדוש ברוך הוא
What we been through
Me and you
