I woke up this mornin' and none of the news was g ood
And d eath machines were rollin' 'cross the gr ound where Jesus stood
And the m an on my TV told me that it had always b een that way
And there was n othin' anyo ne could do or s ay
And I almost li stened to him
Yeah I al most lost my m ind
Then I regained my s enses again
And looked i nto my heart to find
That I believe that one fine day all the c hildren of Abraham
Will lay d own their swords forever in Jeru salem
Well m aybe I'm only dreamin' and ma ybe I'm just a fool
But I d on't remember learnin' how to h ate in Sunday school
But somewh ere along the way I strayed and I n ever looked back again
But I still find some c omfort now and t hen
Then the storms comes rumblin' in
And I c annot lay me down
And the drums are d rummin' again
And I ca nnot stand the sound
But I believe there'll come a day when the lion and the lamb
Will lie d own in peace together in Jeru salem
And there'll be no b arricades then
There'll b e no wire or walls
And we can wash all this b lood from our hands
And all this h atred from our souls
And I believe that on that day all the ch ildren of Abraham
Will lay d own their swords forever in Jeru salem
Lay d own their swords forever in Je rusalem
