Derek Webb - A King and a Kingdom lyrics
[Derek Webb - A King and a Kingdom lyrics]
Who's your brother, who's your sister
You just walked passed him
I think you missed her
As we're all migrating to the
Place where our father lives
'cause we married in to
A family of immigrants
My first allegiance is not to
A flag, a country, or a man
My first allegiance is not
To democracy or blood
It's to a king & a kingdom
There are two great lies that i’ve heard:
"the day you eat of the fruit of that tree
You will not surely die"
And that Jesus Christ was a white
Middle-class republican
And if you wanna be saved you have
To learn to be like Him
My first allegiance is not to
A flag, a country, or a man
My first allegiance is not
To democracy or blood
It's to a king & a kingdom
But nothing unifies like a common enemy
And we’ve got one, sure as hell
But he may be living in your house
He may be raising up your kids
He may be sleeping with your wife
Oh, no, he may not look like you think
You just walked passed him
I think you missed her
As we're all migrating to the
Place where our father lives
'cause we married in to
A family of immigrants
My first allegiance is not to
A flag, a country, or a man
My first allegiance is not
To democracy or blood
It's to a king & a kingdom
There are two great lies that i’ve heard:
"the day you eat of the fruit of that tree
You will not surely die"
And that Jesus Christ was a white
Middle-class republican
And if you wanna be saved you have
To learn to be like Him
My first allegiance is not to
A flag, a country, or a man
My first allegiance is not
To democracy or blood
It's to a king & a kingdom
But nothing unifies like a common enemy
And we’ve got one, sure as hell
But he may be living in your house
He may be raising up your kids
He may be sleeping with your wife
Oh, no, he may not look like you think
