Billy Gilman - Peaceable Kingdom Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • A leopard with a harmless kid lay down
  • And not one savage beast was seen to frown
  • The wolf did with the lamb can dwell in peace
  • His grim carnivorous nature there did cease
  • The lion with the fatling awn 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
  • For the 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 old 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
  • And endless maze of ends and ways
  • And worlds seem so crazy to be here
  • But look away look away
  • Back or forward from today
  • To the visions of either fools or sears
  • Oh my friend have you seen all the lines and the spaces
  • The colors that the old painter 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 our saintly yellow lie
  • To what learning 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 old painter 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
  • In the peaceable kingdom that shines in the faces
