Tel Aviv’n Lyrics
I’m feelin’ easy
The ocean breeze be
Carrying me, I’m Tel Aviv’n
And now I’m seeing
And I’m believing
Because these streets got melody in ‘em
I’m on a plane over the Mediterranean
And this terrain of the plains that’s beneath my feet
I’m on a Jeep at twilight, with my night vision on
To find the song of my people ‘til we hit the dawn
Moving and shaking and taking it up
Swimming in the ocean and I won’t give up
Moving and shaking and taking it up
Swimming in the ocean and I won’t give up
Moving and shaking and taking it up
Swimming in the ocean and I won’t give up
Independence Day the sunset
DJ plays One Day
Fly high, higher than all the walls
Fly high, like a desert eagle
The ocean breeze be
Carrying me, I’m Tel Aviv’n
And now I’m seeing
And I’m believing
Because these streets got melody in ‘em
I’m on a plane over the Mediterranean
And this terrain of the plains that’s beneath my feet
I’m on a Jeep at twilight, with my night vision on
To find the song of my people ‘til we hit the dawn
Moving and shaking and taking it up
Swimming in the ocean and I won’t give up
Moving and shaking and taking it up
Swimming in the ocean and I won’t give up
Moving and shaking and taking it up
Swimming in the ocean and I won’t give up
Independence Day the sunset
DJ plays One Day
Fly high, higher than all the walls
Fly high, like a desert eagle
Now it’s mid day I’m on my way
On a camel with my shades
Head wrapped to the max
Burning tracks, all day
Hill tops, won’t stop
‘til Moshiach’s on his way
And I don’t give a damn about what the world say
I’m on a hillside
Feeling so alive
Below me the dead sea and F15’s
Bullet shells be
Just like graffiti
Kojak in a flag with an M16
Moving and shaking and taking it up
Swimming in the ocean and I won’t give up
Moving and shaking and taking it up
Swimming in the ocean and I won’t give up
Moving and shaking and taking it up
Swimming in the ocean and I won’t give up
On a camel with my shades
Head wrapped to the max
Burning tracks, all day
Hill tops, won’t stop
‘til Moshiach’s on his way
And I don’t give a damn about what the world say
I’m on a hillside
Feeling so alive
Below me the dead sea and F15’s
Bullet shells be
Just like graffiti
Kojak in a flag with an M16
Moving and shaking and taking it up
Swimming in the ocean and I won’t give up
Moving and shaking and taking it up
Swimming in the ocean and I won’t give up
Moving and shaking and taking it up
Swimming in the ocean and I won’t give up
Independence Day the sunset
DJ plays One Day
Fly high, higher than all the walls
Fly high, like a desert eagle
You could teach your children hatred
Teach them how to fight
I’m a teach my children how to love
With all of their might
With all of your soul
All of your heart
All of your might
Sh’ma Yisrael Adonai Eloheinu Adonai Echad
Fly high, higher than all the walls
Fly high, like a desert eagle
Fly high, higher than all the walls
DJ plays One Day
Fly high, higher than all the walls
Fly high, like a desert eagle
You could teach your children hatred
Teach them how to fight
I’m a teach my children how to love
With all of their might
With all of your soul
All of your heart
All of your might
Sh’ma Yisrael Adonai Eloheinu Adonai Echad
Fly high, higher than all the walls
Fly high, like a desert eagle
Fly high, higher than all the walls
About
This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
Matisyahu departs from his usual theme of reggae in this upbeat and electric ode to Israel’s largest city, Tel Aviv. He celebrates scenes that you’d find in the city and surrounding areas such as Mediterranian beaches, camel-riding, and IDF soldiers hanging around. Of course, no Matisyahu song is complete without some good ol' Jewish wisdom, with some classic Jewish prayers thrown in one verse.
