Kingdom Come by Eric Dahl Lyrics

The town he was from
Is a place called Kingdom Come
With a sandy riverbank
And a funny name—
It’s the one place on this earth
He still drove from Fort Worth
Cause Kingdom Come is so far away
It stays the same

I’m going back to Kingdom Come
Back to the place I’m from
Look across the water, walk on the air
Finding things I lost somewhere
I’m going back to Kingdom Come

With a Bible in his hand
He knew his Lord and took a stand
Found some others in the Bible Belt who agree
He said, “Could God mess up so bad
On the best idea he had?
No, you’re not going to burn in eternity.”
I’m going back to Kingdom Come
Back to the place I’m from
Look across the water, walk on the air
Finding things I lost somewhere
I’m going back to Kingdom Come

He was 90 years old
We were talking about the faith I withhold
And how religion
Can seem like pure fraud
I said, “Do you still teach those classes?”
He said, “Everything passes
Lately I’ve been walking on the riverbank
Talking with God.”

I’m going back to Kingdom Come
Back to the place I’m from
Look across the water, walk on the air
Finding things I lost somewhere
I’m going back to Kingdom Come
