From the recording Jerusalem Under One Sky
Track 6 – One Sky Over Jerusalem (The finale.)
The album closes with hope. The city still stands. The bells ring. The shofar sounds. The call to prayer echoes. The sun rises over everyone equally.
The Blue Wave Re-vy-vul Band joins in the final chorus as messengers rather than narrators.
Lyrics
[ONE SKY OVER JERUSALEM]
(Track 6 – The City That Waits)
[Intro]
[Soft piano... warm strings... gentle oud...]
Morning comes...
Just as it always has...
The city still stands...
And hope...
Rises with the sun.
---
[Verse 1]
The first light finds these ancient stones
Just as it has for ages gone
No border stops the morning dawn
It shines on everyone
The church bells gently greet the day
The shofar welcomes morning's rays
The call to prayer begins to rise
Beneath the same blue sky
---
[Pre-Chorus]
Different voices...
One sunrise...
Different stories...
One horizon...
---
[Chorus]
One sky above us...
One earth below...
Maybe peace begins
The day we finally know
No heart grows stronger
By making others fall
Under one sky...
There's room...
For us all.
---
[Verse 2]
The children laugh beyond the walls
Still chasing dreams and soccer balls
They've never cared what lines divide
The grown-ups drew with fear and pride
The city whispers through the years
"I've carried all your hopes and tears
Don't let tomorrow wear the scars
You've carried far too long."
---
[Bridge]
Every empire...
Passed away...
Every kingdom...
Had its day...
But kindness...
Still survives...
Love is the only light...
That time...
Cannot erase.
---
[Final Chorus – Key Change]
One sky above us...
One earth below...
Every road is brighter
When compassion leads us home
One hand reaching
Another hand...
That's how healing...
First begins.
---
[Band Chorus]
Blue Wave Revival Band...
Raise your voices...
Not your fists...
Build more bridges...
Stone by stone...
Let every song
Become a promise...
No one...
Walks alone.
---
[Final Chorus]
One sky above us...
One earth below...
Maybe peace begins
The day we finally know
No heart grows stronger
By making others fall
Under one sky...
There's room...
For us all.
---
[Outro]
The bells still ring...
The shofar sounds...
The call to prayer
Still fills the air...
The children still dream...
The city still waits...
And every sunrise...
Reminds us...
That hope...
Is always...
Worth another day.
Blue Wave Revival Band...
We'll keep singing...
Until the world...
Learns to sing...
Together.
