    Chorus 1
    From 
    the 
    forest 
    itself 

    comes 
    the 
    handle 
    for 
    the 
    ax 

    Split 
    this 
    wilderness, 

    listen 
    up 
    this 
    ain't 
    where 
    it's 
    at 

    Clear 
    path 
    so 
    that 

    you 
    could 
    find 
    your 
    way 
    back 

    Chop 
    'em 
    down, 
    chop 
    'em 
    down 

    chop 
    'em 
    down, 
    chop 
    'em 
    down 

    Verse 1
    Time 
    flies 
    by 
    like 
    clouds 
    passing 
    in 
    the 
    sky 

    Lifetimes 
    even 
    gone 
    in 
    the 
    blink 
    of 
    an 
    eye 

    March 
    through 
    the 
    desert 
    one 
    step 
    at 
    time 

    March 
    through 
    the 
    desert 
    one 
    step 
    at 
    time 

    Chorus 2
    From 
    the 
    forest 
    itself 

    comes 
    the 
    handle 
    for 
    the 
    ax 

    Drop 
    the 
    staff 
    Moshe 
    Rabbeinu 
    split 

    the 
    ocean 
    in 
    half 

    March 
    through 
    the 
    desert, 

    this 
    ain't 
    where 
    it's 
    at 

    Said 
    chop 
    'em 
    down, 
    chop 
    'em 
    down 

    chop 
    'em 
    down, 
    chop 
    'em 
    down 

    Verse 2
    Patterns 
    engraved 
    not 
    so 
    easily 
    erased 

    Still 
    wandering 
    trying 
    to 
    find 
    your 
    place 

    Playing 
    the 
    game 

    see 
    pain 
    pain 
    on 
    your 
    face 

    Now 
    day's 
    the 
    Yidden 

    like 
    children 
    sold 
    as 
    slaves 

    Strange 
    ways 
    running 
    through 
    the 
    maze, 

    strange 
    ways 
    always 

    Lost 
    in 
    the 
    desert 
    trying 
    to 
    find 
    your 
    way 

    Lost, 
    lost 
    in 
    the 
    desert 
    trying 
    to 
    find 
    your 
    way 

    Chorus 3
    From 
    the 
    forest 
    itself 

    comes 
    the 
    handle 
    for 
    the 
    ax 

    Split 
    this 
    wilderness, 

    listen 
    up 
    this 
    ain't 
    where 
    it's 
    at 

    Clear 
    path 
    so 
    that 

    you 
    could 
    find 
    your 
    way 
    back 

    Chop 
    'em 
    down, 
    chop 
    'em 
    down 

    chop 
    'em 
    down, 
    chop 
    'em 
    down 

    Chop 
    'em 
    down, 
    chop 
    'em 
    down 

    chop 
    'em 
    down, 
    chop 
    'em 
    down 

    Verse 3
    Yosef 
    descended 
    sold 
    as 
    slave 

    Thrown 
    into 
    dungeon 

    'cause 
    he 
    wouldn't 
    be 
    swayed 

    In
    terpreted 
    Pharaoh's 
    dreams 

    and 
    Egypt 
    was 
    saved 

    Stockpiled 
    food 
    for 
    seven 
    years 
    of 
    rain 

    Sold 
    to 
    all 
    the 
    nations 

    when 
    the 
    drought 
    came 

    Yosef 
    rose 
    to 
    power 
    and 
    the 
    Yidden 
    stayed 

    They 
    started 
    to 
    grow 
    and 
    suc
    cess 
    was 
    made 

    Pharaoh 
    is 
    getting 
    worried, 

    let's 
    make 
    them 
    pay 

    Bound 
    in 
    chains, 

    firstborn 
    was 
    sent 
    down 
    to 
    their 
    graves 

    Verse 4
    Moshe 
    was 
    saved 

    and 
    prince 
    he 
    was 
    raised 

    Ha
    shem 
    spoke 
    to 
    him, 

    here's 
    message 
    to 
    relay 

    Take 
    my 
    Nation 
    from 
    Mitzrayim 

    see 
    the 
    suffering 

    Hard 
    hearts 
    ego 
    breaks 

    take 
    sparks 
    and 
    make 
    way 

    Trail 
    blaze 
    through 
    the 
    wasteland 

    Bridge 1
    breaking 
    the 
    chains 


    Last 
    generation 
    just 
    the 
    remnants 

    March 
    through 
    the 
    desert 
    leaving 
    footprints 

    Peel 
    off 
    the 
    lid 
    this 
    is 
    just 
    plastic 

    Gotta 
    get

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
