D-DU-UDU
 x4
 See the daughter  of Zion once precious  princess
Left  her father's house to walk streets  that never rest
Maybe  they’ll hear me in the  metropolis
 So I’m sending  an SOS
Fighting  with her “ta” she wants out  of this mess
 And them big  city lights might brighten up  the darkness
 You know  that I’m tired and you know  that I’m stressed
 You  can’t stop me and you can’t  stop this
 You could  call the police try to make  an arrest
 Today  is the day that I  repossess
 Leaving on  the first bus that I  can get
 Now its rings  around eyes sopping wet  from rain droplets
 Window shopping  for some solace no address  and penniless
 That’s the price  you pay for running away  from the stress
Feeling  the pain likes to dance  by the DJ
 Reminds  me of a time when things  were ok
Frightened  by her own  shadow
 Now she wants  to go home
Many names  for one G-d
Trotting on,  through the façade
You  were all  my children
Got  to dig  for that  feeling
Love  will break  down this concealment
Strip  away the serpent’s skin  We came to win
Dispatch  the troops send  out the captain
 My gem  is held captive in  the dungeon
 Don’t come back  again till you end  the mission
 If it takes  a long time don’t lose  the vision
 If you’re stuck  check the blueprint,  look within
 Reflection,  got to find  the rhythm
 Won’t you please  return child  Where you been
 She says I  can’t come home because he won’t  let me in
 And besides  we don’t need no more  friction
 Used to look  so nice, how’d you get so thin?
 And your heart's  like ice, it’s a heart of sin
 Skin white  like a ghost with a pale complexion
 Pray to g-d  for the dead we need resurrection
 Don’t you know  wherever we go  thick and thin
You  are still my  children
Since  you’ve been gone my soul’s  been hurting
Wondering  through this world
 We are just boys and girls
Many names  for one  G-d
Trotting on,  through the façade
You  were all  my children
Got  to dig  for that  feeling
Love  will break  down this concealment
