Lyrics

THE KINGDOM COMES

Foxes have holes
Birds have nests
I’ve got no place to lay my head to rest
I’m home, and the kingdom comes

I’ve got some stones and rocks to move
It’s heavy lifting
But there’s work to do
I’m Home
And the kingdom comes

I’ve got no streets of gold
Got no castle in the clouds
Got no fortune stored away

Push comes to shove
A shovel, not a blade
Gardening a multitude and waiting for the rain
I’m home
And the kingdom comes

I’ve got no streets of gold
Got no castle in the clouds
Got no fortune stored away

I’m supposed to be a tree
Supposed to be a tree
I’m supposed to be a tree that has no roots
I’m supposed to be a tree
Supposed to be a tree
I’m supposed to be a tree whose roots are deep

I’ve got no streets of gold
Got no castle in the clouds
Got no fortune stored away

Just an ancient road
And a parable
A handful of tiny seeds-----and the kingdom comes.
