Chop'em Down (No Place To Be)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
From the forest itself comes the hand for the ax
Split this wilderness listen up this ain't where it's at
Clear a path so that you could find your way back
Chop 'em down, chop 'em down; chop 'em down, chop 'em down
Time flies by like clouds passing in the sky
March through this desert one-step at a time
Joseph descended sold as a slave,
thrown into a dungeon cause he wouldn't be swayed
Interpreted pharaoh's dreams and Egypt was saved
stock piled food for seven years of rain
then sold to all the nations when the drought came
Chop 'em down, chop 'em down; chop 'em down, chop 'em down
Time flies by like clouds passing in the sky
March through this desert one-step at a time
In the spiritual desert things are not what they seem
snakes camouflaged just fit the scene
Put your faith in a mirage it's just a smoke screen
Joseph rose to power and the yiddin stayed
They started to build and success was made
Pharos getting worried let's make them pay bound in chains
First born was sent down to their graves
Chop 'em down, chop 'em down; chop 'em down, chop 'em down
Time flies by like clouds passing in the sky
March through this desert one-step at a time
Moshe was saved and a prince he was raised
Hashem spoke to him hears a message to relay
Take my Nation from Mitzrayim (Egypt) I see the suffering
Hard hearts ego breaks take sparks and make way
Trail blaze through the wasteland breaking the chains
(Chop 'em down, chop 'em down; chop 'em down, chop 'em down)
Heavy hitter stepping solid never quitter jump into the ocean before it split got a jump into it
Rip through Egypt rip through it,
get into it, 600,000 witnessed it, no you didn't forget
