In this city of peace   I have seen none   and these ancient prophecies   say we all will be as one   though the walls will hold the hatred in   your streets still call my name   oh, I bid you peace, jerusalem      these seven hills will be your resting place   our sons and our daughters   may never feel the grace   within the towers,   within the halls of this town   this prodigal son has come full circle   one full circle around      CHORUS      our children will lay on your hills   our fathers will find us and comfort us still   blood of the centuries,   you have seen enough   but there is a time for love   within the towers,   within the halls of this town   this prodigal son has come full circle   one full circle around      CHORUS      (our sons and our daughters   will lay on your hills) jerusalem      (our fathers will find us   and comfort us now) jerusalem      (our sons and our daughters   will lay on your hills) jerusalem      (our fathers will find us   and comfort us then) jerusalem
