Lyrics Arlo Guthrie

Arlo Guthrie

Children of Abraham

Children of Abraham, what's your story?

Killing each other for a piece of land

Children of Abraham, this ain't glory

You've got to walk together hand in hand

Take down the flags that just separate the people

Take down the wire on the boundary

Take back the words that were spoken in anger

You've got to live just like a family

Children of Abraham,I must be dreaming

Rivers of blood running thru your hands

Children crying, mothers screaming

It just wasn't looking like the Promised Land
