Sweet Kingdom Come Karen Morand
©SOCAN 2017
I read it somewhere, oh I’ve heard it said
That a man’s days are numbered- oh, every breath
Well me, I’m still hoping there’s days left to count on
Running for first light and sweet Kingdom Come
Sweet Kingdom Come
Sweet Kingdom Come
I’m running for daylight
And sweet Kingdom Come
I used to curse daylight and live for the weekend
I’d wait undercover, I’d wait for last call
But I’m done with waiting and wasting the beauty
Running for first light and sweet Kingdom Come
Sweet Kingdom Come
Sweet Kingdom Come
I’m running for daylight
And sweet Kingdom Come
Some hope for better - no work and all wishing
Some hope for nothing - they get their reward
But I’m holding out for the one thing I’m needing
Running for first light and sweet Kingdom Come
Sweet Kingdom Come
Sweet Kingdom Come
I’m running for daylight
And sweet Kingdom Come
