I woke up this morning, and none of the news was good
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 nothing anyone could do or sayAnd I almost listened to him
Yeah, I almost lost my mind
And I regained my senses again
Looked into my heart to findThat I believe that one fine day all the children of Abraham
Will lay down their swords forever in JerusalemWell maybe I'm only dreamin' and maybe I'm just a fool
But I don't remember learnin' how to hate in Sunday school
Somewhere along the way I strayed and I never looked back again
But I still find some comfort now and thenThen the storm comes rumblin' in
And I can't lay me down
And the drums are drummin' again
And I can't stand the soundBut I believe there'll come a day when the lion and the lamb
Will lie down in peace together in JerusalemAnd 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 soulsAnd I believe that on that day all the children of Abraham
Will lay down their swords forever in Jerusalem
