Jerusalem from Welcome Home by Michael & Nell

I woke up this mornin’, and none of the news was good
Death machines were rumblin' 'cross the ground where Jesus stood
And the man on my TV 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
Looked into my heart to find

That I believe 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
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 thunderin' 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 barriers 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

Yes, I believe there'll come a day when the lion and the lamb
Will lie down in peace together in Jerusalem

Yes, I believe one fine day all the children of Abraham
Will lay down their swords forever in Jerusalem
