Kingdom Come
Embracing Love's Legacy
Lyrics
Love is the place we're from
Love is the origin of our existence
You and I, you and I, you and I
Emphasis on the connection between "You and I"
We'll sing till kingdom come
Expressing a commitment to sing until an undefined future
Love is the place we're from
Reiteration of love as the fundamental source
You and I, you and I, you and I
Continued emphasis on the bond between "You and I"
We'll sing till kingdom come
Recommitment to sing until an indefinite time
We'll sing till kingdom come
Repetition emphasizing the enduring nature of their commitment to singing
We'll sing till kingdom come
-We'll sing till kingdom come
-We'll sing till kingdom come
-We'll sing till kingdom come
-We'll sing till kingdom come
-We'll sing till kingdom come
Continuation of the commitment to sing
We'll sing till kingdom
Completion of the commitment to sing "till kingdom"
Come and see the difference
Highlighting the difference between current existence and the desired self, expressing the need for a transformative vision
And significant distance
-Between our current existence
-And who we crave to be
-Something we've been missing
-Maybe even resisting
-Is a deliverance vision
-Of who we're made to be
-So I'm hoping singing brings us closer to home
Hope that singing will bring a sense of closeness to one's true self
We'll sing our grandmother's stories
Singing as a means to connect with family stories, histories, and shared experiences
Our grandfather's glories
-With every smile and scar
-See a little more of who we are
-We'll sing today and tomorrow
-Our joys and our sorrows
-Remember where we're from
-And we'll sing till kingdom come
-We'll sing till kingdom come
Repetition of the commitment to sing till "kingdom" with continued emphasis on the connection between "You and I"
You and I, you and I, you and I
-We'll sing till kingdom come
-We'll sing till kingdom come
-You and I, you and I, you and I
-We'll sing till kingdom
-Come and see conditions
Reflection on personal identity, acknowledging a need for a humble perspective and vision from a higher source
Of identities missing
-I'm lost in constant transition
-Of who I claim to be
-Something I've been missing
-Is a humble position
-Of getting vision
-From the one who gave a name to me
-So I'm hoping singing brings us closer to home
Hope that singing will lead to a closer connection to one's true self
We'll sing our grandmother's stories
Singing as a way to understand and embrace familial stories, scars, joys, and sorrows
Our grandfather's glories
-With every smile and scar
-See a little more of who we are
-We'll sing today and tomorrow
-Our joys and our sorrows
-Remember where we're from
-And we'll sing till kingdom come
-We'll sing till kingdom come
Continued repetition of the commitment to sing till "kingdom"
We'll sing till kingdom come
-We'll sing till kingdom come
-We'll sing till kingdom come
-We'll sing till kingdom come
Final reaffirmation of the commitment to sing till an undefined future
