Shalom/ Saalam Lyrics - Youth - Matisyahu

Fire descends from on high in the shape of a lion 

Burn the sacrifice of pride and ride on Mount Zion 

Rub me the wrong way, taking the highway 

Rubbing sticks together but your fire's man made 

Capitalize on hot air, soar like an airplane 

Yearn to rise in the sky quick high like cocaine 

False pride is suicide but you've got nothing to gain 

Babylon's buildings raise like flames 

Drowning in their champagne 

Explosion pulled the pin in the hand grenade 

Soul stain blowing up in your own domain 

Fire crackers oh and ah but they never maintain 

Fires burning, flames are dancing 

Don't burn the house down Lord 

Heavenly fire only resides 

On an alter made from the ground 

Fire descends on high 

In the shape of a lion 

Burn the sacrifice of pride 

And ride on to Mount Zion 

Fire descends on high 

In the shape of a lion 

Burn the sacrifice of pride 

And ride on to Mount Zion 

One pair of eyes 

But see two different things 

One person cries 

But the other one sings 

You walk around 

Like everybody owes ya something 

Take what you got 

Thank G-d for all that life brings 

The poor man has it all 

But not content with anything 

While the rich man's hands are empty 

But he's sitting like a kind 

Fires burning, flames are dancing 

Don't burn the house down Lord 

Heavenly fire only resides 

On an alter made from the ground 

Backpack's getting heavy 

Moving at a steady pace 

Carrying bricks on your shoulders 

And lead around your waist 

Making way, run in haste 

There is no time to taste what you ate 

We should be grateful got a plateful 

Fire burns like ice morsels falling fire like rain 

Fire descends on high 

In the shape of a lion 

Burn the sacrifice of pride 

And ride on to Mount Zion 

Fire descends on high 

In the shape of a lion 

Burn the sacrifice of pride 

And ride on to Mount Zion
