Old Man Luedecke
Kingdom Come
I rode a long way on a one trick pony
I broke faces that were cold and stony
And in the evening when the night meets the glow like a pigeon
Well, my heart goes home and
I have been subject to change
Not what I’d rearrange
I never flock with those with fancy feathers
I’ve met all my friends in unfair weather
I’ll belong when the kingdom come, when the kingdom come
I’ll belong when the kingdom come, when the kingdom come
I’ll belong when the kingdom come, when the kingdom come
Kingdom come oh oh oh
Kingdom come oh oh oh
I was crying in the wilderness
It’s a pretty good place to build a home I guess
And I know the baby born in Bethlehem
I saw the star that brought the wise men onto him
The sun’s light grows by my cottage door
It’s grown 12 feet or maybe more
Face to the sun and wanting more
Like a lion without a roar
I’ll belong when the kingdom come, when the kingdom come
I’ll belong when the kingdom come, when the kingdom come
I’ll belong when the kingdom come, when the kingdom come
Kingdom come oh oh oh
Kingdom come oh oh oh
Who will hear of my offering
If only stars are allowed to sing
I believe in the small and the free
As I gazed from the heights that are withering
May golden dour come along
Let my heart be filled with song
I never flock with those with fancy feathers
I’ve met all my friends in unfair weather
I’ll belong when the kingdom come, when the kingdom come
I’ll belong when the kingdom come, when the kingdom come
I’ll belong when the kingdom come, when the kingdom come
Kingdom come oh oh oh
Kingdom come oh oh oh
