Jerusalem
I woke up this mornin' and none of the news was goodAnd death machines were rumblin' 'cross the ground where Jesus stoodAnd the man on my TV told me that it had always been that wayAnd there was nothin' anyone could do or sayAnd I almost listened to himYeah, I almost lost my mindThen I regained my senses againAnd looked into my heart to findThat I believe that one fine day all the children of AbrahamWill lay down their swords forever in JerusalemWell maybe I'm only dreamin' and maybe I'm just a foolBut I don't remember learnin' how to hate in Sunday schoolBut somewhere along the way I strayed and I never looked back againBut I still find some comfort now and thenThen the storm comes rumblin' inAnd I can't lay me downAnd the drums are drummin' againAnd I can't stand the soundBut I believe there'll come a day when the lion and the lambWill lie down in peace together in JerusalemSongtexteAnd there'll be no barricades thenThere'll be no wire or wallsAnd we can wash all this blood from our handsAnd all this hatred from our soulsAnd I believe that on that day all the children of AbrahamWill lay down their swords forever in Jerusalem Aus Songtexte Mania
