Jerusalem
 (Steve Earle)

 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
