The Kingdom Has Already Come Songtext / Lyric

I stopped in the church to pray, It was the middle of the day

And I don't even know if I believe in God But I laid my soul on the table

And left that place believing I was able to pull back the curtain my old fears had drawn

I was out on the fourth of July when I saw those kids I just had to cry

The whole town was blazing in the summer's heat

But out in front of a row of run down shacks they had that fire hydrant uncapped

Baptizing their bodies right there in the street

There's a tree outside my window It sings when wind blows

I've got water and fire I know sorrow I feel desire

And could it be that the kingdom has already come

We all see good and bad in everything that we have

But life is waiting just behind that veil if this will be loved and that will be hated

The soul is left to struggle segregated

Trapped in the harbor too weighted down to sail

There's a tree outside my window It sings when wind blows

I've got water and fire I know sorrow I feel desire

And could it be that the kingdom has already come

We all see good and bad in everything that we have
