Jerusalem Lyrics

Jerusalem lyrics

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 that 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 

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 



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 



And 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
