Eye of the Universe


How could a Jew stay in a land not his own, but one that celebrates turkey day, rabbits, and jingling bells?
 Listen to what Dovid Green sings from his heart, the heart of a Jew:

The song is a powerful look at Jerusalem from Green’s eyes and is featured in his new album, “Journey to the Real You.” Green immigrated to Israel with his family from Toronto ten years ago.

Jerusalem - Eye of the Universe is a passionate expression of Dovid's love for the holy city of Jerusalem. The song and video takes you on a tour of the layers of history and modern life of the place also referred to as the eye of the universe, for no matter what happens in Jerusalem, it finds it's way to the front pages of the news papers around the world. Here are the lyrics

“Jerusalem – Eye of the Universe."
Soul of the world
in the heart of the land
together we stand in the
eye of the universe

where G*d meets man
through the joy and the pain
Jerusalem
eye of the universe

City of peace
between the body and the soul
and the heavens and the earth
between one another
and please G*d soon
 with the nations of the world
 people pray

no more need to fight
and her G*dly light
will shine even brighter
and revive the life
oh yerushalayim

CHORUS
I can't explain
but I've never felt this way
Ive gotta kiss the ground cause I'm overwhelmed
I'm in love with this ancient city
there's something in the air
I never felt anywhere

tell me why
I'm feeling more alive
with every step I take
as I make my way
to the heart of the holy city
and i touch the wall of stone
like it's a part of my bones
and with a gentle kiss I know
I finally found my way home

the prophets and the kings
in the temple worshiping
together we will sing in the
eye of the universe

Layers of living
Timeless city
I can't believe I'm witnessing
centuries in the history of my soul
