What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
You are a dreamer of dreams walking a lonely shore
2
Dream if you will but remember there are iron laws
3
However much you seek to solve this mystery
4
No one ignores the iron vice of history
5
All those gone before dreamed to escape
6
They tried to fly over the palisades
7
Standing at the gates
8
This is Jericho
9
And the walls reach up to the stars
10
And outside we were singing psalms
11
Such a strange, strange place
12
For we are the prisoners
13
Of the prisoners we have taken
14
And the prophets' dreams are now forsaken
15
Sing me the songs of a world that I once knew
16
Recall the legends once so proud and true
17
My people used to live here not so long ago
18
But they fled into the night and I was left alone
19
I guard these walls for you and me
20
Dream on, sail on my memory
21
Standing at the gates
22
This is Jericho
23
And the walls reach up to the stars
24
And outside we were singing psalms
25
Such a strange, strange place
26
For we are the prisoners
27
Of the prisoners we have taken
28
And the prophets' dreams are now forsaken
