NOT OF THIS KINGDOM

Intro – piano + choir pad)

Something changed in me
I can’t explain it
Same world…
But it don’t feel the same

(Verse 1)
Used to fit right in with the noise outside
Same empty laughs, same kind of life
Same late nights trying to feel alive
Same fake peace just to get by

Everybody saying this is normal now
But my heart keep telling me slow it down
Something in me don’t belong here
Like I woke up but they still there

Tried to go back to the way I lived
Tried to want what I always did
But the feeling gone, it don’t feel right
Like I stepped out into the light

Now the silence louder than the crowd
Truth hitting hard when the world gets loud
Feels like I’m standing in between
Who I was and who I’m meant to be

(Pre-Chorus)
Why do I feel like I don’t fit in
Like this life don’t make no sense
Like I’m walking here but my soul somewhere else

[Chorus – BIG, cinematic)]
I’m not of this kingdom
Never was, never will
Something pulling on my spirit
And I feel it still

I’m not of this kingdom
This world ain’t my home
Every step I take now
Feels like I’m moving on

I tried to live like everybody else
Tried to find life in something else
But the more I see, the more I know
I don’t belong here anymore

Not of this kingdom

[(Verse 2 – more rhythm / light rap)]
Yeah
People say I changed, yeah I know I did
Can’t see the world how I always did
Things I chased don’t mean that much
Things I loved don’t feel the same touch

Used to think this life was all I get
Now I feel something I can’t forget
Like a voice in the quiet saying come
Like a war inside but the fight ain’t done

Everywhere I look I see the cracks
People smiling but they breaking back
Running hard but they standing still
Trying to fill what the world can’t fill

I ain’t better, I just see it clear
Something different brought me here
Now I know why I felt alone
I was never meant for this world’s throne

(Pre-Chorus)
Why do I feel like I don’t fit in
Like this life don’t make no sense
Like I’m walking here but my soul somewhere else

(Chorus)
I’m not of this kingdom
Never was, never will
Something pulling on my spirit
And I feel it still

I’m not of this kingdom
This world ain’t my home
Every step I take now
Feels like I’m moving on

I tried to live like everybody else
Tried to find life in something else
But the more I see, the more I know
I don’t belong here anymore

Not of this kingdom

[(Bridge – choir, no drums first)]

Not my home
Not my throne
Not the place I’m meant to stay

Hear the call
Through it all
There’s another way

[Choir chant:]
Kingdom come
Kingdom come
Kingdom come

[(Last Chorus – biggest)]
I’m not of this kingdom
I can feel it now
Something from the heavens
Calling me out

I’m not of this kingdom
I can’t go back
Once you see the truth
You can’t live like that

Not of this kingdom
Not of this world
Something waking up inside my soul
