Lyrics

[I Am Jerusalem]
[From the album **Jerusalem: Under One Sky]
[Blue Wave Revival Band]

**[Intro]** *(Soft piano, distant oud, gentle wind)*

I have been called holy...
I have been called cursed...
I've watched kings rise...
And kingdoms return to dust...

Before your flags...
Before your borders...
Before your wars...

I was...
Jerusalem.

---

### **[Verse 1]**

I've heard the footsteps
Of prophets and kings...
The cries of pilgrims...
The songs that they sing.

I've welcomed strangers
From every land...
Yet too many still
Refuse to understand.

My stones remember
Every name...
But hatred always
Speaks the same.

---

### **[Pre-Chorus]**

I never asked
To belong to one...
I've always lived
Beneath one sun.

---

### **[Chorus]**

I am Jerusalem...
I belong to no one's pride...
I'm every tear
You've ever cried.

I'm every prayer
That fills the air...
Every soul
Still searching there.

Don't fight over me...
Please can't you see...
I was made
For humanity.

---

### **[Verse 2]**

I've watched children
Laugh together...
Before the world
Taught them forever...

To fear a face...
To hate a name...
To believe somehow
We're not the same.

But hope still grows
Like olive trees...
Whispering softly
On every breeze.

---

### **[Bridge]** *(Music falls to piano and strings)*

I've carried your sorrow...
I've carried your pain...
I've watched you rebuild...
Again and again.

I've held your memories...
I've carried your scars...
Yet every night...
We still share the same stars.

If walls can be built...
Then walls can fall...
Love has always been
Strong enough for all.

---

### **[Final Chorus – Building]**

Soooooo sing...
For me...

Bllllue Wave Revival Baaand...

Where every child can stand...
Beneath one sky...

Sing for the mothers...
Sing for the fathers...
Sing for the dreamers...
Who still believe...

One city...
Many prayers...
One hope...
We all can share...

I am Jerusalem...
Not yours...
Not mine...
But ours...

---

### **[Outro]** *(Music slowly fades)*

So sing...
Blue Wave Revival Band...

Until every heart
Can finally understand...

I...
Am...

Jerusalem...
Under one sky...
