Lyrics

Don?t Go Down to Jerusalem


Don?t go down to Jerusalem, bad things will happen to you there
Why don?t you stay right here with us and be happy and safe,
I do not fear that
Don?t go down to Jerusalem, bad things await you there
Why don?t you stay right here with us and be happy and safe,
and do not fear that

Tell me what it is that you need to do
Why is it that you need to go
When your spirit is so valuable to us right here

You?ve got all the purpose
You?ve got lots of security
There is nothing that you need just stay right here

CHORUS

Tell me what it is that?s pulling at you
What it is that will not let you rest
What is it that makes you need to leave us

You?ve got all the purpose
You?ve got lots of security
There is nothing that you need just stay right here

on 1st part of verse

So many people appreciate you and are growing in the words you speak
We are your family
Please listen to us
Why don?t you stay right here

CHORUS (optional)
