My songs are about life, faith, relationships, love and everything else in between. I'd like to think my songs are honest. Because I'm not special, nor better than anyone else; I'm just trying to find my place in this world; like everyone else.
I'm also working on a debut album, which I plan to release in at least a year. But don't be sad! because I promise that I will gig and say hi in the mean time. "

The Kingdom
Alarice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And suddenly I find myself
At a coming of an age
Of a destiny prepared
Before the coming of the dawn
I'm coming home
To a place where I know I belong
Where my soul that was asleep
Is now awakened by the drum
What once slumbered
Is now awakened this hour
Ancient Gates open up
I'm alive in Your Kingdom
Home in Your Courts
I'm awakened, awakened to life
There is Hope in Your Freedom
Your breath in my lungs
I'm awakened, awakened to life
It's here I find that I've arrived
The time has come
Where my soul will find its rest in the One
At a place I have not seen
In a home I have not been
For it is written in my heart
Now come alive
You Daughters and Sons arise
To take the Kingdom here
All authority is given
To fight for what is right
Awake my soul,
Awake my soul to the calling (
The Kingdom by Alarice is a powerful and uplifting song that talks about finding one's place in the world, and finding hope and freedom in a higher power. The opening lines of the song talk about the wind blowing, and how it suddenly brings the singer to a moment of realization. This realization is about a destiny that has already been prepared before the coming of the dawn. The singer feels like they are coming home, to a place where they truly belong. This place is in the dwelling of a higher being, where their soul that was once asleep is now awakened by the drum.
The song then talks about the transformation that has taken place within the singer. What was once slumbering is now awakened. Ancient gates are opening up for them. They feel alive in this kingdom, and like they have arrived. The time has come for their soul to find its rest in the One. This is a place the singer has not seen, and a home they have not been to, but it is written in their heart. They call on all the sons and daughters to awaken to their calling, and take the kingdom here. All authority is given to fight for what is right. The song ends with a call to the soul to awake and to continue the imperative journey.

The wind blows here
The wind is blowing at this place
And suddenly I find myself
I am now realizing the situation
At a coming of an age
At a crucial point in time
Of a destiny prepared
A destiny that was set beforehand
Before the coming of the dawn
Before the morning sun rises
I'm coming home
Returning to my true home
To a place where I know I belong
A place where I feel like I fit in
In the dwelling of Your keep
Within the refuge of Your protection
Where my soul that was asleep
My soul that was in a state of dormancy
Is now awakened by the drum
Now coming to life by the beat of the drum
What once slumbered
My previous inactive state
Is now awakened this hour
Is now roused to action in this moment
Ancient Gates open up
The old barriers are now unlocked
I'm alive in Your Kingdom
Alive within Your realm
Home in Your Courts
At home within Your judiciary system
I'm awakened, awakened to life
Fully alive and conscious
There is Hope in Your Freedom
Your freedom offers me hope
Your breath in my lungs
Your life-giving breath fills me
I'm awakened, awakened to life
Fully alive and conscious
It's here I find that I've arrived
This is where I discover I have finally reached my destination
The time has come
The right moment has arrived
Where my soul will find its rest in the One
My soul will find peace in the divine
At a place I have not seen
At an unseen location
In a home I have not been
In an unfamiliar dwelling
For it is written in my heart
It is written within me
Now come alive
Become fully alive
You Daughters and Sons arise
Rise up, sons and daughters
To take the Kingdom here
To claim this kingdom
All authority is given
Given all power and control
To fight for what is right
To battle for justice
Awake my soul,
Bring my soul to life once more
Awake my soul to the calling
Wake up and realize my true purpose
