KINGDOM COME [ country/bluegrass ] Click Here for Music Video of this song Click Here for Free Song Download I looked into grandpa’s weary eyes Behind a leathered face drawn in pain Comes a time the best among us dies And only fond memories remain He slowly raised a calloused hand and said “Don’t you shed no tears for anyone See you soon in a better place an’ time, when kingdom comes”          When kingdom comes, every teardrop will be dried from every eye          Men of war will plague the earth no more, hungry babies will no longer cry          When that final trumpet blows and the sky roll’s back just like a scroll          Even Solomon will sing a brand new song, when kingdom comes Life down here's never been quite the same Since the day grandpa passed on Nobody cares what's really true They only ask "which side you're on?" The rich an’ poor gap’s gettin’ bigger Many are quick to pull the trigger But a world gone wrong will be long gone, when kingdom comes When kingdom comes Now, all the shallow men of science pretend their books can somehow save But after 10,000 years of lessons, the human race still can’t behave          When kingdom comes, no one will marry, buy or sell the land          We'll all belong to each other, only one will be in command          Every shadow will pass away, it'll be one big peace an' love feast day          No more lies, no religion, peace an' freedom for everyone          When kingdom comes, when kingdom comes * * Based on the book of Revelation, which may be somewhat different than what you heard in Sunday school, but not all that different from what you may recently have seen on a PBS science program or read in the morning paper.             Copyright © by Richard Aberdeen ASCAP Copyright © by Freedom Tracks Music ASCAP          No part of this material may be reproduced or utilized in any form or by any means, electronic or mechanical, including printing, photocopying, recording or by any information storage or retrieval system, without permission in writing from publisher.
