La música cristiana es de origen judío: la liturgia musical de la sinagoga, en particular el canto psalmódico de los judíos como unidad poética musical, fue un legado preciado transmitido del Israel antiguo al cristianismo primitivo, como forma de manifestar tanto a nivel personal como comunitario las creencias religiosas y la fe en Dios.
These streets are cold,
And some things just cant be told
As I wait alone, but you know how that goes.
When everything becomes a blur to me,
Chiors sing the street songs that I've come to know.
And the world is turning into the city today.
I spend my days traveling underground
In bright subways until the sun goes down.
I spend my nights growing flowers by candlelight
In dark hotels until the sun comes up and we go for a walk
So we can talk,
Or we can say nothing at all.
Let's go for a drive
They'll never find us alive if we say nothing,
Cause the world is turning into the city
Sometimes I wonder if I will ever leave the city.
Sometimes the air is very hard to breathe in the city.
While all the ghosts are marching in the streets,
I make the same mistakes. please forgive me.
Your simple toys remind my of the noise
That I once heard of motor cars and crashing birds.
I stand alone remembering my home
And where we'll go when all these buildings turn to stone.
