Lyrics

The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. And it came to pass in the month Chisleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace, [Heavy riff] [Verse 1] In lands afar, 'neath skies so grand, A man heard of the plight that fell upon the land Walls once tall, now rubble and ash, His heart was struck by sorrow's brash. [Pre-chorus] He knelt down, in fast he cried, For mercy and grace, he humbly sighed. Confessed the wrongs, sought to atone, And for a divine favor, he did intone [Chorus] "Whoo, whoo" "Bring us back home," his earnest plea, "Restore our land," he prayed to thee. "Whoo, whoo" "Let me rebuild, with hands that yearn, For the city we love, for its return." "Whoo, whoo" "Whoo, whoo" [Heavy riff] [Verse 2] With hope in heart, and plan in head, He knew soon he'd stand where many dread. Before the king, his case to make, For permission to rebuild, for his people's sake. [Bridge] And so begins, the tale of faith, Of a man who stood for what he saith. With prayer and deed, he saw the dawn, Of a city reborn, to rise and spawn. [Drum's solo] [Bridge] And so begins, the tale of faith, Of a man who stood for what he saith. With prayer and deed, he saw the dawn, Of a city reborn, to rise and spawn. [Chorus] "Bring us back home," his earnest plea, "Restore our land," he prayed to thee. "Let me rebuild, with hands that yearn, For the city we love, for its return [Drum's set] "Bring us back home," his earnest plea, "Restore our land," he prayed to thee. "Let me rebuild, with hands that yearn, For the city we love, for its return."
