In this city of peace

I have seen none

and these ancient prophecies

say we all will be as one

though the walls will hold the hatred in

your streets still call my name

oh, I bid you peace, jerusalem



these seven hills will be your resting place

our sons and our daughters

may never feel the grace

within the towers,

within the halls of this town

this prodigal son has come full circle

one full circle around



CHORUS



our children will lay on your hills

our fathers will find us and comfort us still

blood of the centuries,

you have seen enough

but there is a time for love

within the towers,

within the halls of this town

this prodigal son has come full circle

one full circle around



CHORUS



(our sons and our daughters

will lay on your hills) jerusalem



(our fathers will find us

and comfort us now) jerusalem



(our sons and our daughters

will lay on your hills) jerusalem



(our fathers will find us

and comfort us then) jerusalem
