lyrics

At the waters of Babylon
I hung up my harp
When they told me to sing your song
I hung up my harp
Will we ever return?
My child I don’t know
Yes we will return
Remember, the prophet told us so

He said,
Our bodies will be strong
And our city will shine
With a beauty we’ve never known
Through all ages
Until the end of time

Son of David, Son of Man
Is this Elijah, returned to us?
Or our Passover lamb?
If I could only touch his dusty robe
I would be healed, I would be clean
They say when he takes his sword
And cuts the Romans down
Oh then we will be whole
Then we will be free
We will be free

At the waters of Babylon
I hung up my harp
When the told me to sing your song
I picked up my harp

And said,
Let my right hand
Forget all its skill
Should I ever cease to sing
Of your holy hill

about

Jacob Mau Chicago, Illinois

Jacob Mau spins compelling stories of misfit people and misplaced landscapes oft overlooked by others, and ignored by history. As this year's winner of Chicago's longest-running open mic competition, hosted annually by Uncommon Ground, he is clearly a standout among the city's best singer-songwriters. Good things await this young musician."
