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

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 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

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

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
