Kingdom
Andru Donalds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Turn me over and slide
I just can't take no more
Bullets flying past my brain
As I walk right out of my door

A little acceptance please
Cause I just got to be
With my angels above
For all the wrongs I've done
I know I've overcome
The bitterness that's turned into love

(Chorus)
And if I don't make it home today, Lord
Welcome me in Your Kingdom
And if I don't make it home today, Lord
Welcome me in Your Kingdom
Welcome me welcome me
Welcome me

Dreaming over world war
No more freedom that's the end of the world
I take a stand and if you want to go
Feel free so nobody be slow
Cause I just got to be
Another country real
With the Hendrix above
You can go anytime
Don't want to stay in line
Knocking on the Heaven's door

(Chorus with variation)
Take me Almighty
Take me home




When You take me home
(Repeat)

He acknowledges that he has made mistakes and done wrong things in the past, but he believes that he has overcome the bitterness that used to rule his life and has found love instead. The second verse brings up the theme of war and the end of freedom, but the singer takes a stand and encourages others not to be slow, as he sees himself as a citizen of another country, a place where Jimi Hendrix is above, and where people can go anytime. He is knocking on Heaven's door, hoping to be welcomed into God's Kingdom.


Overall, the song seems to be about finding refuge from a dangerous and troubled world, and it suggests that this refuge can be found in a spiritual realm. The singer asks for guidance and protection, and he believes that even if he doesn't make it home today, he will eventually be welcomed into a place of peace and love. The song has a religious tone, but it is not preachy or judgmental. Instead, it offers a hopeful message of redemption and forgiveness.
