Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 We were told to lift our faces Past the mountains, past the rain To a kingdom built in thunder Where a distant ruler reigns Every prayer a quiet ladder Climbing higher through the blue Every doubt a whispered warning Of the judgment breaking through But the clouds began to scatter Like a curtain torn in two And the sky stretched wide and silent With no throne in view ⸻ Chorus There’s no throne in the sky tonight No crown above the air Just the endless turning heavens And the wind that’s everywhere So we stand here in the daylight With the earth beneath our hands And the meaning we were searching for Is something we can stand There’s no throne in the sky tonight No voice beyond the blue Just the fire of living hearts And the things we choose to do ⸻ Verse 2 For years we bowed to stories Of a judge beyond the sun But the sky kept spinning quietly Like it always had begun And the rivers kept on flowing And the forests kept their song As if meaning lived among us All along ⸻ Chorus There’s no throne in the sky tonight No crown above the air Just the endless turning heavens And the wind that’s everywhere So we stand here in the daylight With the earth beneath our hands And the meaning we were searching for Is something we can stand There’s no throne in the sky tonight No voice beyond the blue Just the fire of living hearts And the things we choose to do ⸻ Bridge If the sky holds no dominion If the stars refuse the claim Then the power of tomorrow Rests inside the human flame Every kindness, every courage Every truth we dare to speak Builds a kingdom here among us Strong and free ⸻ Final Chorus There’s no throne in the sky tonight Just the wide and open air And the hands that reach for others Finding meaning waiting there Let the heavens spin above us Let the clouds drift slowly by All the worlds we ever needed Were never in the sky
