Lyrics
Peaceable Kingdom
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Yesterday I saw you standing there With your hand against the pane
Looking out the window At the rain
And I wanted to tell you That your tears were not in vain
But I guess we both knew We'd never be the same
Never be the same
Why must we hide all these feelings inside?
Lions and lambs shall abide
Maybe one day we'll be strong enough To build it back again
Build the peaceable kingdom Back again
Build it back again
Why must we hide all these feelings inside? Lions and lambs shall abide
Maybe one day we'll be strong enough To build it back again
Build the peaceable kingdom Back again
Maybe one day we'll be strong enough To build it back again
Build the peaceable kingdom Build it back again
Build the peaceable kingdom Build it back again
