letra de the giving - the living wells

[verse 1: moshe friedman]
i took a trip, let me tell you ’bout the trip i took
through scripture so vivid as a picture book
listen, look as i describe the ill-stration
of the fate of mankind and the birth of a nation
we were conceived while slaves in chains
then forced out to freedom in labor pains
and in forty-nine days we were reaching the heights
in a world of darkness we’d be the beacon of light
the young rebels, hated like the pebble
that became the cornerstone of our temple
we reigned as kings until we were swayed by the devil
now we stand trial as a nation in exile
did we forget our origins are regal
a remnant of a people that thinks it’s feeble?
we’re destined to ride on wings of eagles
but we’re so numb we just feel pins and needles
not lost though, we’re just a little sidetracked
this little nap is a temporary time lapse
the h-rn’s blowing, signaling the climax
rise like a lion, time to get our pride back

[chorus: rick fox]
tonight i saw the thunder
i heard the lightning cry
it all came down on me
i swear that i thought i died
i thought my life was over
but it had just begun
i’m on a secret mission
and i won’t tell no one ’cause
this is the giving

[verse 2: rick fox]
today i left my home, i don’t know where i’m going
left it all alone, but there’s no worries
i didn’t think things through but i think it’s the thing to do
and i swear i’ll follow you, because you saved me
walking through the clouds, don’t know where to go for now…
at night, i’ll follow the light

[chorus]

[verse 3: moshe friedman]
they forewarned us we’d be dispersed to the four corners
we’ve been forlorned and war-torn, but before you mourn us
remember what our past has had in store for us
in history we haven’t had a slow minute
we’ve traveled so distant, carried our homesickness
everywhere we went they told us no admittance
at best, they said you can mind your own business
at worst, we were tortured and thrown in prison
but after all the pain that our soul has witnessed
the struggle’s in our blood, down to our bone thickness
our immortality makes us so different
’cause we kept on living and rome didn’t
babylon, greece, persia, who’s next to fall?
they’re knocked down like a wrecking ball
and even though we’re laid low, still our heads are tall
’cause i see plants sprout from the cracks of the western wall

[chorus]

[bridge 1: rick fox]
today we stand as one heart, one man
i’ll do whatever it takes, okay, now tell us the plan
i know inside we’ll do what’s right

[verse 4: moshe friedman]
i hope i’ll see the day when our problems end
and we’ll return to that promised land
and we’ll be countless like the stars and sand
and even the poor will have a feast like king solomon
we’ll end soon what we’ve been through
this new slavery that’s got me and you
and i know that my dream is true
’cause we were slaves once before and we were freed then too
we sow in tears but always reap in joy
’cause a plant can only grow when the seed’s destroyed
and right now our sprout’s just under dirt
but before the rain there’s gonna be some thunder first
so if it hurts so bad you think you’re gonna burst
and can’t tell if the thirst or the hunger’s worse
just remember, the light at the end is so bright
’cause we p-ssed through the pitch black tunnel first

[chorus]
