[00:00.88]A leopard with a harmless kid lay down
[00:06.71]And not one savage beast was seen to frown
[00:13.69]The wolf did with the lamb can dwell in peace
[00:20.02]His grim carnivorous nature there did cease
[00:26.77]The lion with the fatling awn did move
[00:33.05]And a little child was leading them in love
[00:44.99]
[00:47.83]Long ago there was a young painter
[00:51.13]Who had a dream that every creature came
[00:55.22]And stood assembled by his side
[01:00.63]And he painted the sight that had sweetened his night
[01:07.72]For the one hundred times before he died
[01:15.73]A kid lion and a snake and a child
[01:19.21]Wide-eyed and formal and smiling like the sun had stopped
[01:24.06]And time had ceased to move
[01:28.78]And the wolf and the lamb
[01:32.40]Came and ate from his hand
[01:36.18]And a man-child was leading them in love
[01:42.71]
[01:43.60]Friend have you seen all the lines and the spaces
[01:50.25]The colors that the young painter sees
[01:56.86]In the peaceable kingdom that shines in the faces
[02:04.34]Of people from more gentle times than these
[02:09.40]
[02:11.94]I find myself adrift these days
[02:15.46]And endless maze of ends and ways
[02:18.39]And worlds seem so crazy to be here
[02:24.80]But look away look away
[02:28.61]Back or forward from today
[02:32.26]To the visions of either fools or sears
[02:38.61]
[02:39.21]Oh my friend have you seen all the lines and the spaces
[02:46.52]The colors that the young painter sees
[02:52.87]In the peaceable kingdom that shines in the faces
[03:00.61]Of people from more gentle times than these
[03:05.68]
[03:07.02]Such a beautiful place
[03:10.58]Full of joy full of grace
[03:14.49]It was bathed in our saintly yellow lie
[03:21.08]To what learning to know that such things can't be so
[03:28.34]He could only believe that they might
[03:35.02]Oh my friend have you seen all the lines and the spaces
[03:42.76]The colors that the young painter sees
[03:49.13]In the peaceable kingdom that shines in the faces
[03:56.85]Of people from more gentle times than these
[04:02.81]
[04:04.28]Friend have you seen all the lines and the spaces
[04:10.90]The colors that the young painter sees
[04:17.25]In the peaceable kingdom that shines in the faces
[04:25.00]Of people from more gentle times than these
[04:30.84]
