For those who need decompression after Obama's West Point speech

[derby378]

This was originally just for xultar, but I think a lot of us need it, especially if we have loved ones in uniform heading to Afghanistan. It's Late Night in Zion by Matisyahu:

We're the reflection of imperfection
We come from the infinite place of limitation
Rejoice in these days, make a correction
We're the completion

Lights out, down for the count, can't get up
Meanwhile the enemy screams "The boy is stuck"
and the legs of the king are dangling in a rut
Falling pieces, lost sparks, hearts cut

We're not alone in the madness, if we're here, then so are you
Deepest caverns underground, we've been searching for the truth
Scrape my knees on the hurdles, face down in the puddles

Only one who'll get us out of this mess, the one who put us here
I've got a spear driven through my ear, can't you hear
The sound, crystal clear, pistols smashing chandeliers
Long for brooks of water like the deer

A man is just a man filled with faults and weakness
For a young Jerusalem all alone and speechless
Nighttime, nobody's home, roam streets in darkness
I feel I'm just a man, flesh and bones, homeless
A man is just a man filled with faults and weakness
For a young Jerusalem all alone and speechless
Nighttime, nobody's home, roam streets in darkness
I feel I'm just a man

Planting seeds, they won't sink in, I'm dried up
Like the desert earth, how could these seeds give birth
Water me down, liquify, I will not be cursed
From one into a million disperse

Wisdom reigns like water from heaven to below
Crush my earth, seeds sow, garden start to grow
You know you've got to rise, although you like to flow
You can't keep staring out the window

Earth, water, wind, fire, we stay low while getting higher
Spark igniter, fighting tired, stay wired, enlighten loads
Stay alive, weep, wail, chant, cry, let out a sigh
Energized, give out my last dime, life shouldn't pass me by

Rise to the occassion, keep these hearts
All blazing, build your life on a river of wax
Melt into space, we've been here since the beginning
Not going away
Not going away

A man is just a man filled with faults and weakness
For a young Jerusalem all alone and speechless
Nighttime, nobody's home, roam streets in darkness
I feel I'm just a man, flesh and bones, homeless
A man is just a man filled with faults and weakness
For a young Jerusalem all alone and speechless
Nighttime, nobody's home, roam streets in darkness
I feel I'm just a man...
