Billy Gilman - Peaceable Kingdom - Sözleri

A leopard with a harmless kid lay down

And not one savage beast was seen to frown

The wolf did with the lambkin dwell in peace

His grim carnivorous nature there did cease

The lion with the fatling on did move

And a little child was leading them in love



Long ago there was a young painter

Who had a dream that every creature came

And stood assembled by his side

And he painted the sight that had sweetened his night

Fully one hundred times before he died

A kid, lion, and a snake, and a child

Wide-eyed and formal and smiling like the sun had stopped

And time had ceased to move

And the wolf and the lamb

Came and ate from his hand

And a man-child was leading them in love



Friend have you seen all the lines and the spaces

The colors that the young painter sees

In the peaceable kingdom that shines in the faces

Of people from more gentle times than these



I find myself adrift these days

An endless maze of ends and ways

And worlds seem so crazy to me here

But look away, look away

Back or forward from today

To the visions of either fools or seers



Oh my friend have you seen all the lines and the spaces

The colors that the young painter sees, That he sees

In the peaceable kingdom that shines in the faces

Of people from more gentle times than these



Such a beautiful place

Full of joy full of grace

It was bathed in a saintly yellow light

Too unlearned to know that such things can't be so

He could only believe that they might



Oh my friend have you seen all the lines and the spaces

The colors that the young painter sees, That he sees

In the peaceable kingdom that shines in the faces

Of people from more gentle times than these



Friend have you seen all the lines and the spaces

The colors that the young painter sees, That he sees

In the peaceable kingdom that shines in the faces

Of people from more gentle times than these
