Peaceable Kingdom

A wave toward the clearing sky All this time we're talking and sharin' our rational view A billion other voices are spreadin' other news All this time we're livin' and tryin' to understand Why a billion other choices are makin' their demands? Talk of a peaceable kingdom Talk of a time without fear The ones we wish would listen Never going to hear Justice against the hanged man Knight of wands against the hour Swords against the kingdom Time against the tower All this time we're shuffling and layin' out all our cards While a billion other dealers are slippin' past our guards All this time we're hopin' and prayin' we all might learn While a billion other teachers are teachin' them how to burn Dream of a peaceable kingdom Dream of a time without war Ones we wish would hear us Have heard it all before A wave toward the clearing sky A wave toward the clearing sky A wave toward the clearing sky The hermit against the lovers Or the devil against the fool Swords against the kingdom The wheel against the rules All this time we're burning like bonfires in the dark A billion other blazes are shooting off their sparks Every spark a drifting ember of desire To fall upon the earth and spark another fire To fall upon the earth and spark another A homeward angel on the fly A wave toward the clearing sky A homeward angel on the fly A wave toward the clearing sky A wave toward the clearing sky
