So can you tell me how to get to Jerusalem?
Cuz I have kinda lost my way.
So will you help me get there as fast as I can?
Tomorrow might be too late.
See, things ain't what they used to be, my love for life has gone, you see
And I'm fighting things I cannot see
People always telling me how
sweet and simple life would be
They say you mght as well live before you die.
The thing I know for sure
I am a danger to myself, how come
Yeah one thing I know for sure
I need some guidance to get me outta this hell-hole.
Jerusalem
Can you help me find my way back to Jerusalem? Yeah
It took me quite some time, getting to Jerusalem
Cuz I had kinda lost my way.
I wanted to save me from myself, so here I am
I hope it's not too late.
See, things ain't what they used to be, My love for life has gone, you see
And now I'm fighting things I cannot see
I am so afraid to love
Because of the way I've been hurt before
I think by now it's time for me to leave.
The thing I know for sure
I am a danger to myself, how come
Yeah one thing I know for sure
I need some guidance to get me outta this hell-hole.
Jerusalem,
Can you help me find my way back to Jerusalem?
Jerusalem,
Can you help me find my way to what I've lost?
See, things ain't what they used to be, my love for life has gone, you see
And I'm fighting things I cannot see
See, I don't wanna die this way,
Wishing that I could turn back time
Wasted time, there is work to be done
The one thing I know for sure
I am a danger to myself, how come
Yeah one thing I know for sure
I need some guidance to get me out of this hell-hole
Jerusalem, can you help me find my way back to Jerusalem?

I think her use of "Jerusalem" is a reference to what Jerusalem symbolizes in religion - a holy place, or "Promised Land"... A place which represents sanctuary, eternity, and life without sin. Perhaps the song is about seeking a "Jerusalem" for the mind and spirit, a place of contentment with oneself. The lyrics in the song sound to me like the thoughts of someone very discontent with themselves, very listless and almost depressed, lacking zest for life. Realizing this and wanting to get better, to find their own "Jerusalem", and become comfortable with who they are and accept their life, perhaps even learning to love life again.
One of her best songs. Not seeing "If I Go". :| Which is like her best.
i think, this is a song about, that she chasing a man to Jerusalem, and because of the suicide bombers (hell-hole), this town is dangerous, but she dangerous for her soul too.. but maybe the birth-town of the messiah could help to re-birth her "love for life" or - at least - help to get back him.
