Three Brothers

from Airstream

Three Brothers


All three brothers loved their father, but he's brought them here today

To see these papers and these lawyers, and divide the old estate

All three feel that they're the favorite, he loves each of them the best

But these documents he gave them, will now put them to the test


So they open all the writings, that will prove the rightful heir

To this home that they remember, and the right to settle there

Their own sister is a prisoner, they don't see her face to face

They've not heard her song of beauty, or felt the movement of her grace



She lives live behind those bars of steel and waits for her release

Will she die or will we see

Jerusalem In Peace



Each one looks at what he's given, and he studies what he's shown

They hold their maps that show possession, of this place they've called their home

At first they sigh with satisfaction, when they see what's on their maps

Each one's given all he wanted, but the boundaries overlap


So do you wish us to be brothers?  Father help us understand

Or will we each kill off the others? to claim this same piece of land

Do You mean there to be hatred? In this place you built to last

And will faith just die a prisoner? In the dungeon of the past


She lives behind those bars of steel and waits for her release

Will she die or will we see

Jerusalem In Peace


She lives behind those bars of steel and waits for her release

Will she die or will we see

Jerusalem In Peace


Jerusalem is sending her voice from inside the prison of disbelief

Stand up you people of the one God to bring about her release
