I woke up this mornin'
And none of the
News was good
And death machines
Were rumblin' 'cross
The ground
Where Jesus stood
And the man on my TV
Told me it had always
Been that way
And there's nothin'
Anyone could do
Or say
And I almost
Listened to him
Yeah I almost
Lost my mind
Then I regained
My senses again
Looked into
My heart to find
And I believe
That one fine day
All the children
Of Abraham
Will lay down their
Sword forever
In Jerusalem
Aw maybe
I'm only dreamin'
And maybe I'm
Just a fool
But I don't remember
Learnin' 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
Then the storm
Comes rumblin' in
And I can't
Lay me down
And the drums
Are drummin' 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
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
