Lyrics Twelve Gates To the City - James Taylor

Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh-oh, what a beautiful city
12 gates to the city, hallelu-
There's three to the east and three to the west
Three to the north, three more to the south
That's 12 gates to the city, hallelu-
I said, oh, beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
12 gates to the city, hallelu-
Tell me, who's that over yonder dressed in red
Must be the children that Moses sent
There's 12 gates to the city, hallelu-
Now who's that over yonder dressed in white
They must be the children of the Israelites
There's 12 gates to the city, hallelu-
I said, oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city, yeah
Oh now, what a beautiful city
12 gates to the city, hallelu-
If I could don't you know that I would
Put my foot on a rock where Moses stood
And there was 12 gates to the city, hallelu-
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, no, no
What a beautiful city
12 gates to the city, hallelu-
And someone said, oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
Oh, what a beautiful city
12 gates to the city, hallelu-
Yes, there are 12 gates to the city, hallelu-
