[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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
