Let's take love to Jerusalem - Oh yeah - let's make love
You might be the one I'm waiting for,
I think we've met somewhere for sure
Chasing shadows leaves you feelin' blue
This situation needs a cure
New assassins, new messiahs,
Keepers of the balanced law
Strangest lovers of the fire
Which ignites the Halo of our souls
In Jerusalem, we pray - It's time to meet you there
Let's take love to Jerusalem - Oh yeah - let's make love

On glory roads of pure delight we head out for the stars
In Jerusalem...
