The Kingdom Has Already Come

(álbum: Sing The Delta - 2012)

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 old fears had drawn

I was out on the fourth of July
When I saw those kids, and just had to cry
The whole town was blazing in the summer's heat
But out in front of a row of rundown 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 or 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 weighed 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
And could it be that the kingdom has already come
