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 TV told me that 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   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
