Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yesterday I saw you standin' there
With your hand against the pane
Lookin' out the window
At the rain
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Why must we hide all these feelings inside?
Lions and lambs shall abide
[Verse 4]
Maybe one day we'll be strong enough
To build it back again
Build the peaceable kingdom
Back again
Build it back again
[Verse 5]
Why must we hide all these feelings inside?
Lions and lambs shall abide
[Verse 6]
Maybe one day we'll be strong enough
To build it back again
Build the peaceable kingdom
Back again
[Verse 7]
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
