Jerusalem

Joan Baez

Transposer:

I woke up this mornin' and none of the news was good And death machines were rollin' '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 storms comes rumblin' in And I cannot lay me down And the drums are drummin' again And I cannot 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 Lay down their swords forever in Jerusalem

La chanson évoque un réveil face à des nouvelles sombres, où la violence et la destruction règnent sur des lieux chargés d'histoire et de spiritualité, comme Jérusalem. Elle parle du désespoir face à cette situation, mais aussi de l'espoir d’un avenir meilleur, où tous les enfants d'Abraham pourront vivre en paix, abandonnant leurs armes. L’artiste évoque également une réflexion personnelle sur la haine, soulignant qu’elle n'a pas été une leçon apprise dans l'éducation religieuse, reliant ainsi la paix à des valeurs fondamentales. Finalement, elle imagine un monde sans murs ni barrières, où la réconciliation est possible.
