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 was 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

swords forever in Jerusalem

Well 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 or 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
