Joan Baez - Jerusalem

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
I regained my senses again
And looked into my heart to find

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

I believe there'll come a day
When the lion and the lamb
Will lie down in peace together
In Jerusalem

There'll be no barricades then
And 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

Lay down their swords forever
In Jerusalem
