A LITTLE CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

up on a mountain in old Mexico
I saw the whales breaching down below
I opened up a page in the Old Testament
to see what message the universe had sent

Isaiah spoke to me from long long ago
and told me something that I should have known
the words were clear, as clear as they were meant
as simple now as the day that they were then

A child shall lead them
a little child shall lead them
a little child shall lead them
a little child shall lead them

the wolf it shall dwell with the lamb
the leopard shall lie down with the kid
the calf and lion shall lay down in the sand
and all the world shall see what they did

though your sins are scarlet, they shall be white as snow
no nation against nation, they'll make war no more
beat swords to plowshares, spears into hooks
none call good evil, none call evil good

those who walk in darkness, they shall see the light
the earth be brought out of the endless night
although we made a covenant with death
with hell agree, the time it will come as yet

a voice cried out in the wilderness
it was a voice calling from the West
I spoke aloud, what should I cry
all flesh is grass and I knew I would die

my soul flew up as an eagle does
I knew the answer, the answer must be love
though like a sheep I had gone astray
for all the past, I learned the truth that day

and if you're thirsty, drink the waters wild
and hear the words of a lost and lonely child
and when you know that you are near the end
just remember the words that I heard then

A child shall lead them
a little child shall lead them
a little child shall lead them
a little child shall lead them

a little child shall lead them
a little child shall lead them
