Jerusalem

[Verse 1] I woke up this morning and none of the news was good And death machines were rumbling 'cross the ground where Jesus stood And the man on my TV told me it had always been that way And there was nothing anyone could do or say [Chorus] I almost listened to him, yeah, I almost lost my mind Then I regained my senses again and looked into my heart to find That I believe that one fine day, all the children of Abraham Will lay down their swords forever in Jerusalem [Verse 2] Well, maybe I'm only dreaming and maybe I'm just a fool But I don't remember learning how to hate in Sunday school But somewhere along the way, I strayed and I never looked back again But I still find some comfort now and then [Chorus] Then the storm comes rumbling in and I can't lay me down And the drums are drumming again and I can't stand the sound But I believe there'll come a day when the lion and the lamb Will lie down in peace together in Jerusalem [Chorus] And there'll be no barricades then, there'll be no wire walls And we can wash all this blood from our hands and all this hatred from our souls And I believe that on that day, all the children of Abraham Will lay down their swords forever in Jerusalem
