Kingdom Coming lyrics

[Intro: Emeli Sandé]

Ho-oh, ho-oh, woah

Ho-oh, ho-oh, woah

Ho-oh, ho-oh, woah

[Verse 1: Emeli Sandé]

Daddy been cleaning windows

Daddy been shining shoes

Daddy's a taxi driver

Driving all night surviving on a couple hours sleep in the afternoon

Daddy's so home sick

Twenty years past, Daddy's job and still no promotion

[Hook 1: Emeli Sandé]

Fuck that, Daddy

You're a king and the kingdom's coming, no more running

Fuck that, Daddy

You're a king and the kingdom's coming, no more running

Fuck that, Daddy

You're a king and the kingdom's coming, no more running

[Verse 2:Emeli Sandé]

Mommy been lighting candles

Mommy been saying prayers

Mommy don't think she can [?]

No more thugs or thieves or dogs or sharks or grizzly bears

Mommy's so fed up

Four-night shifts in a row but the debt won't let up

[Hook 2: Emeli Sandé]

Fuck that, Mummy

You're an angel, and this ain't no place, for an angel

Fuck that, Mummy

You're an angel, and this ain't no place, for an angel

Fuck that, Mummy

You're an angel, and this ain't no place, for an angel

Fuck that, Mummy

You're an angel, and this ain't no place, for an angel

Fuck that, Mummy

You're an angel, and this ain't no place, for an angel

[Verse 3: Emeli Sandé]

And I know she loved to travel

Take a picture in the album

But that's something come and gone

And the kids need you to force

And I know he loved to hold her

I mean really get to know her

But that's something come and gone

And the kids need you to force

[Hook 3: Emeli Sandé]

Fuck that, Daddy

You're a king and the kingdom's coming, no more running

Fuck that, Mummy

You're an angel, and this ain't no place, for an angel

Fuck that, Daddy

You're a king and the kingdom's coming, no more running

Fuck that, Mummy

You're an angel, and this ain't no place, for an angel

[Bridge: Wretch 32]

I pray you get home safe

I pray your date of birth, to come boat to those cold gates

I pray you don't lose faith, pray you don't lose faith

Life begins at 40 momma, I pray you see old age

I've seen you go to work and come home and go to work

And not moan about your worth

Because there's nothing in your purse

But that money don't define you

Plus, you hate being lied to

That's probably why there's no fella beside you

But besides that, I'm beside you

Hospital bedside, thinking how the fuck can I [retired?] you

There's no quittin', there's no quittin'

What good's a fire in the booth if I could burn with those lyrics

Clock's tickin' and it's getting hard for me

They just said my mother's got heart disease

Man, I swear I felt that in my artery

If we could swap I'd give you every part of me

Every lesson that you taught me was priceless

I mean it's funny how you add value when you're a minus

Corned beef sandwich for dinner when we were rice -less

Had that shit time after time, I guess it's timeless

The candles stayed lit when the electric gave in

I kept our fire burning, mom, we never gave in

And if the kingdom's coming man it's best waiting

'Cause I ain't leaving your side, it's gonna be a long night

[Hook 3: Emeli Sandé]

Fuck that, Daddy

You're a king and the kingdom's coming, no more running

Fuck that, Mummy

You're an angel, and this ain't no place, for an angel

Fuck that, Daddy

You're a king and the kingdom's coming, no more running

Fuck that, Mummy

You're an angel, and this ain't no place, for an angel

[Outro: Emeli Sandé]

Kingdom coming

Don't you lose your heart right now 'cause kingdom coming

Don't you dare give up right now 'cause kingdom coming

Don't you lose your heart right now 'cause kingdom coming

I know you been down sometimes but kingdom coming

Don't you dare get down right now 'cause kingdom coming

Don't you dare give up right now 'cause kingdom coming

I can't see the lane right now 'cause kingdom coming

Kingdom's coming

Kingdom's coming

Don't you dare give up right now 'cause kingdom coming

Don't you lose your heart right now kingdom coming

Don't you dare give up right now 'cause kingdom coming

Don't you lose your heart right now 'cause kingdom coming

I know you get down sometimes but kingdom coming

Don't you dare get down right now 'cause kingdom coming

I can't see lane right now 'cause kingdom coming

Don't you dare give up right now 'cause kingdom coming
