Jerusalem
Lyricist:Steve Earle
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 T,V 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 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 Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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
