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.
Don't be there. Don't be there.
'Cause I'm on my way
And I'm already gone over
And I'm on my way
And I can't recall myself
How I went down
Did I get shot
Or shoot myself
I'm down here. I'm down here
And you're way up there
But that doesn't hurt badly
But it stings right here
And I can't recall myself
How I went down
Did I get shot
Or shoot myself
And I won't pretend there's
Nothing there
You be around and I'll be square
Don't be alarmed if I'm not there
You be around and I'll be square
If you're a rose
Then I'm the thorn
That's in your side
And does it hurt badly
'Cause it burns right here
And I can't recall myself
How I went down
Did I get shot
Or shoot myself
I'd like to say hello
I'd like to say I care
I'd like to let you know
That nothing here's the same with me
Nothing here's the same
And I can't recall myself
How I went down
Did I get shot
Or shoot myself
And I won't pretend there's
Nothing there
You be around and I'll be square
Don't be alarmed if I'm not there
You be around and I'll be square
Don't be around
Don't be there, don't be there.
