Living Wolf By Sheep

(Isaiah 11:6-8, 65:25)
parody of Singing In My Sleep written by Dan Wilson and performed by Semisonic

Read this page and it blew my mind
Words and visions of peaceful signs
All abound at the end of time
When none of the beasts are foes


Young and old no more chops and mash
Leopards, goats, chewing hard on grass
Now the yearling and lion repast
Eat food and with ox repose

And all the straw they will eat
See the promise the Lord will keep

I can see them live peacefully bird by beast
I can see them live peacefully wolf by sheep

Infant playing near cobra’s den
Hand of toddler in viper’s nest
In the one after chapter ten
Or in sixty-five twenty-five

With the yearling the lion sleeps
Laid so close see the wolf and sheep
Bear eats clover beside live beef
When you check the book Isaiah

And all around beasts at peace
Ooh, ooh

I can see them live peacefully bird by beast
I can see them live peacefully wolf by sheep
I can see them live peacefully bird by beast
I can see them live peacefully wolf by sheep

And all around beasts at peace
Child leads them all both wolf and sheep

I can see them live peacefully bird by beast
I can see them live peacefully wolf by sheep
I can see them, I can see them
I can see them live peacefully bird by
I can see them live peacefully wolf by sheep

Ohhh, ohhh
Ohhh, ohhh
Ohhh, ohhh
