Kingdom Come

I was standing on the outside

Watching towers touch the sky

Everybody chasing something

No one asking themselves why

Every road was lined with gold dust

Every promise sounded young

But I learned that every empire starts with only someone

Till the kingdom come

I'll be holding on

Through the fire and the flood when the night feels long

Till the kingdom come

When the battle's done

I'll be standing where I started still becoming who I was

There were days I lost direction

There were dreams I left behind

Every failure left a footprint

Every scar redrew my lines

I kept searching for the answer somewhere far beyond the hills

Then I found it in the silence and the strength to stay still

Till the kingdom come

I'll be holding on

Through the fire and the flood when the night feels long

Till the kingdom come

When the battle's done

I'll be standing where I started still becoming who I was

Maybe crowns are made of patience

Maybe glory takes its time

Maybe all the greatest victories happen deep inside

Till the kingdom come

I'll be carrying on

Through the shadows and the dust through the right and wrong

Till the kingdom come

Till the race is run

I'll be chasing what I came for under every setting sun
