lyrics

words and music by Brandon Reisdorf & Aaron Kelly

Forty long years we’ve been wandering
Cursed to roam the forest as a penance for a sin
We learned back then to keep ourselves from wondering
If the man above was right to send us in

Walked around the city same as yesterday
‘Cept this time we went six more times around
Never guessed we’d get right in and win so easily
But I’ll be damned, those walls came tumblin’ down

Oh, there’s trouble down in Jericho
Don’t you know that we could use a helping hand
Yeah you can ask, no one seems to answer though
Feelin’ all alone in the broken promised land

We thought nineteen forty three might be the worst of times
Felt just like the wits of the world was at its end
But prejudice passed down like it’s a nursery rhyme
And when it comes around, you’re right back where you been

Oh, there’s trouble down in Jericho
Don’t you know that we could use a helping hand
Yeah you can ask, no one seems to answer though
Feelin’ all alone in the broken promised land

Walked around the city same as yesterday
‘Cept this time it just didn’t feel the same
Everybody’s yellin’ hopin’ something’s gonna give
But the walls keep gettin’ taller every day

Oh, there’s trouble down in Jericho
Don’t you know that we could use a helping hand
Yeah you can ask, no one seems to answer though
Feelin’ all alone in the broken promised land

Lately I’ve had questions about everything
Don’t take it wrong but I just wanna know
If there’s some knowing, loving, God that can do anything
How can he just let us suffer down below
While we’re walkin’ down the walls of Jericho?
Walkin’ down the walls of Jericho
