Zeruiah
Zeruiah /zəˈruːjə/ (צרויה, sometime transliterated Tzruya or Zeruya) is a figure in the Hebrew Bible. She was a sister of King David. According to 1 Chronicles 2:13-16 and also the Babylonian Talmud (Shabbat 55), Zeruiah was a daughter of Jesse (called Nahash in another verse 2 Samuel 17:25). Zeruiah had three sons, Abishai, Joab, and Asahel, all of whom were soldiers in David's army (and also David's nephews).
Very little is told of her. However, her sons are invariably mentioned with the matronymic "son of Zeruiah", in marked contrast to most other Biblical characters (and people in many other cultures) who are known by a patronymic. This suggests that she was an exceptionally important person, though the specific circumstances are not given.
Her name is used—though not very frequently—as a female given name in contemporary Israel (see Tzruya Lahav, Zeruya Shalev).

Dreaming
by: Zero 7I?ve sworn, my love
I?ve been reborn, my love
Don?t be forlorn, my love
I?ve torn my heart
Do not mourn my depart
I?ve been reborn, my love
I'm watching you
There's nothing they can do
Now, I'm reborn, my love
Yeah, you must believe
You?ll live on without me
I?m leaving all my love
I am awake and you are only dreaming
You?ll be okay and you will find some meaning
You will not break, though, you'll buckle with feelings
I am awake and you are only dreaming
Don?t fear my friend 'cause there is no real end
I?ve been reborn, my love
I?m happy here, I have nothing to fear
I?m getting all the love, oh, yeah
So, shed a tear for all the happy years
And just move on, my love
I?ll ride this crowd and when your time comes 'round
We?ll need all our love
I am awake and you are only dreaming
You?ll be okay and you will find some meaning
You will not break, though, you'll buckle with feelings
I am awake and you are only dreaming
I am awake and you are only dreaming
You?ll be okay and you will find some meaning
You will not break, though, you'll buckle with feelings
