Baez, Joan - Jerusalem Lyrics
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
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
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

Baez, Joan Jerusalem Comments
God bless you Joan for your heart, your activism, and of course your voice!
I will never forget you Joan, you`re my favourite protest singer from the sixties, this song is amongst your best. Fighting for the goodness. Always clear in your voice and mind. Thank you !!!
My most urgent prayer ... peace in the Holy Lands. Bulldozing homes in the Palestinian lands. ISIS beheading dissenters. Death and human misery in the lands where Moses, Jesus and Mohammed walked. The human race can do better. Much better. Time to lay down the weapons and wash the blood from our hands ....
