Kingdoms
We were taken from a kingdom
From a land we called our own
Where the rivers shone like silver
In undying lights of home
Where the golden trees did blossom
And the luscious pastures rolled
And the people sang in wonder
At the King upon his throne
And he ruled with justice and he reigned with peace
And he walked among his people, we were free
And the light of his kingdom ever shines beyond the sea
With a strength that stands unrivalled, we were free
But the darkness came upon us
Filled with promises and lies
That led us from our homeland
We followed, deaf and blind
To a land of pain and sorrow
Without music, without song
And our hearts cried out in anguish
For the place where we belonged
Where he ruled with justice and he reigned with peace
And he walked among his people, we were free
And the light of his kingdom ever shines beyond the sea
With a strength that stands unrivalled, we were free
For years we toiled in shackles
Hope was lost in history
The kingdom we'd been made for
Seemed no more than a dream
But we were not forgotten
The King across the sea
Left his throne of splendour
He so longed to set us free
That he followed through the desert
Along our blood stained road
Paid our costly ransom
Carried us home
To where He rules with justice and he reigns with peace
And he walks among his people, we are free
And the light of his kingdom ever shines in victory
Now that darkness is defeated, we are free
We are free, we are free, we are free, for ours is the victory
From a land we called our own
Where the rivers shone like silver
In undying lights of home
Where the golden trees did blossom
And the luscious pastures rolled
And the people sang in wonder
At the King upon his throne
And he ruled with justice and he reigned with peace
And he walked among his people, we were free
And the light of his kingdom ever shines beyond the sea
With a strength that stands unrivalled, we were free
But the darkness came upon us
Filled with promises and lies
That led us from our homeland
We followed, deaf and blind
To a land of pain and sorrow
Without music, without song
And our hearts cried out in anguish
For the place where we belonged
Where he ruled with justice and he reigned with peace
And he walked among his people, we were free
And the light of his kingdom ever shines beyond the sea
With a strength that stands unrivalled, we were free
For years we toiled in shackles
Hope was lost in history
The kingdom we'd been made for
Seemed no more than a dream
But we were not forgotten
The King across the sea
Left his throne of splendour
He so longed to set us free
That he followed through the desert
Along our blood stained road
Paid our costly ransom
Carried us home
To where He rules with justice and he reigns with peace
And he walks among his people, we are free
And the light of his kingdom ever shines in victory
Now that darkness is defeated, we are free
We are free, we are free, we are free, for ours is the victory
