Lay Down

There’s words I don’t speak

There’s words I don’t speak

And there’s songs I don’t sing

And there’s places I should go more

Try and keep the images inside me

I see flags waving

And wonder and squalor in plain sight, side by side

I see dark spaces

And magical people that fill them with life

Oh when will the lion and lamb lay down

Oh when will you and I finally break out of this spell?

Out in the city of bridges Out under mezzanine skies

Spending some time in the ditches Hoping I’ll find the light

Oh when will the lion and lamb lay down

Oh when will you and I finally break out of this spell?

Can you hear the music? The children sing! ‘Neath Willow shade, for justice in the city Can you feel the angels with mighty wings Hovering for peace upon the land!

Oh when will the lion and lamb lay down

Oh when will you and I finally break out of this spell we've been under?
