[00:00.00]Peaceable Kingdom (和平的王國(guó)) - Billy Gilman
[00:00.95]Written by:Rob Carlson
[00:01.90]A leopard with a harmless kid lay down
[00:06.20]
[00:07.22]And not one savage beast was seen to frown
[00:14.39]The wolf did with the lamb can dwell in peace
[00:19.41]
[00:20.68]His grim carnivorous nature there did cease
[00:26.29]
[00:27.47]The lion with the fatling awn did move
[00:32.57]
[00:33.58]And a little child was leading them in love
[00:42.44]
[00:48.60]Long ago there was a young painter
[00:50.82]
[00:51.89]Who had a dream that every creature came
[00:54.99]
[00:55.85]And stood assembled by his side
[00:58.56]
[01:01.34]And he painted the sight that had sweetened his night
[01:07.79]
[01:08.57]For the one hundred times before he died
[01:12.91]
[01:16.61]A kid lion and a snake and a child
[01:19.34]
[01:20.14]Wide eyed and formal and smiling like the sun had stopped
[01:25.00]And time had ceased to move
[01:27.67]
[01:29.67]And the wolf and the lamb
[01:32.46]
[01:33.34]Came and ate from his hand
[01:36.19]
[01:37.10]And a man child was leading them in love
[01:42.45]
[01:44.62]Friend have you seen all the lines and the spaces
[01:50.73]
[01:51.35]The colors that the old painter sees
[01:55.28]
[01:57.95]In the peaceable kingdom that shines in the faces
[02:04.75]
[02:05.52]Of people from more gentle times than these
[02:09.63]
[02:13.19]I find myself adrift these days
[02:15.78]
[02:16.61]And endless maze of ends and ways
[02:19.66]And worlds seem so crazy to be here
[02:23.70]
[02:25.97]But look away look away
[02:28.65]
[02:29.79]Back or forward from today
[02:32.20]
[02:33.53]To the visions of either fools or sears
[02:38.38]
[02:40.26]Oh my friend have you seen all the lines and the spaces
[02:46.62]
[02:47.86]The colors that the old painter sees that he sees
[02:53.82]
[02:54.32]In the peaceable kingdom that shines in the faces
[03:01.40]
[03:01.97]Of people from more gentle times than these
[03:06.07]
[03:08.50]Such a beautiful place
[03:11.83]Full of joy full of grace
[03:14.87]
[03:15.85]It was bathed in our saintly yellow lie
[03:21.56]
[03:22.52]To what learning to know that such things can't be so
[03:28.81]
[03:30.14]He could only believe that they might
[03:35.44]
[03:36.50]Oh my friend have you seen all the lines and the spaces
[03:42.91]
[03:44.36]The colors that the old painter sees that he sees
[03:50.07]
[03:50.73]In the peaceable kingdom that shines in the faces
[03:57.70]
[03:58.49]Of people from more gentle times than these
[04:02.55]
[04:06.05]Friend have you seen all the lines and the spaces
[04:11.40]
[04:12.58]The colors that the young painter sees that he sees
[04:18.44]
[04:19.16]In the peaceable kingdom that shines in the faces
[04:25.96]
[04:26.73]Of people from more gentle times than these
