Jerusalem Songtext
von Mark Seymour

I woke up this morning
And none of the news was good
Death machines were rumbling
Across the ground where Jesus stood
And the man on my TV told me
That it had always been that way
There ain′t nothing anyone can do or say

Well, I almost listened to him
I almost lost my mind
I regained my senses again
Looked into my heart to find
That I believe that one fine day
The children of Abraham
Will lay down their swords forever
In Jerusalem


Well, maybe I'm only dreaming
Or maybe I′m just a fool
But I don't remember learning
How to hate in Sunday school
But somewhere along the way I strayed
And I never went back again
But I still find some comfort now and then

But the storm comes rumbling
Oh, I can't lay me down
And the drums are drumming again
And I can′t stand the sound
Still I believe there′ll come a day
When the lion and the lamb
Will lie down in peace together
In Jerusalem

Well, 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
For I believe that one fine day
The children of Abraham
Will lay down their swords forever
In Jerusalem
