Jerusalem [Music listening for humanity]

[EP91] So now we have another war, and there is only hope or despair. And, uhh yeah, this song is not enough, but, for a little bit of hope that we need to… we need to keep our humanity, I’m sharing it with you. The lyrics are in the show notes, so there it is.  -- SONG -- I woke up this morning And none of the news was good Death machines were rumblin' across the ground where Jesus stood And the man on my TV told me That it had always been that way And there was nothing anyone could do or say And I almost listened to him Yeah, I almost lost my mind And 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 Ah now maybe I'm only dreamin' And maybe I'm just a fool But I don't remember learnin' how to hate in Sunday school 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 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.  ***** "Humanity a word for the qualities that make us human" It can't be this current evil alone. We must believe in something more. [Song courtesy of Steve Earle Music]
