Kingdom Come lyrics

Well I walked in the pouring rain

And I heard a voice that cries it's all in vain

The voice of doom was shining in my room

I just need one day somewhere far away

Lord I just need one day

Well I'll be breaking these rocks until the Kingdom comes

And cuttin' this hay until the Kingdom comes

Yes, I'll be breaking these rocks

It's my price to pay until the Kingdom comes

The river's so muddy, but it may come clear

And I know too well what's keeping me here

I'm just the slave of a burning ray

Give me the night, I can't take another sight

Please give me the night

Well I'll be breaking these rocks until the Kingdom comes

And cuttin' this hay until the Kingdom comes

Yes, I'll be breaking these rocks until the Kingdom comes

It's my price to pay until the Kingdom comes

The sun keeps beating down the wall's a mile high

Up in the tower they're watching me hoping I'm gonna die

But they'll open these cells when the Kingdom comes

I won't be breaking no rocks when the Kingdom comes

Yes, they'll open these cells when the Kingdom comes

I won't hear their talk when the Kingdom comes

I'm going up for pardon when the Kingdom comes

Well pardon me when the Kingdom comes

I won't be breaking no rocks when the Kingdom comes
