Story behind the song
I wrote this song on my McSpadden Teardrop dulcimer, in April 2001. Motivated by the depletion of our rain forests ... and everything else that's dying on our planet. It took 3 days to write the lyrics ... the music happened effortlessly ... the McSpadden Teardrop dulcimer can be heard on the left; my McSpadden Baritone dulcimer is on the right. I recorded the song on my Roland VS-1880, with a Blue Dragonfly, and an Oktava MC 012-01, run through a pair of Neve preamps.
Lyrics
Kingdom Come Words & Music by Alan Horvath I hear the forest crying, "Kingdom Come" I see the horrifying things we've done, I want to go ... way down by the end of the road All the way to ... Kingdom Come. Father in Heaven, hallowed be thy name ... Thy will be done on earth, oh, hear me pray; Give us this day ... Let our needs get met along the way ... And, most of all, I pray you ... Let your Kingdom Come. All our brightest dreams are shadowed By the darkness of the night ... I keep watching the horizon For the slightest hint of light; Give us this day ... give us this day ... Let your Kingdom Come ... It's an ancient story that still gets told To those who hear and those who don't By prophets and trees and things out of the blue ... Ooh, but once that cry has reached your ears Your heart gets filled by what you hear And what you hear is just the sound of you Crying ... "Kingdom Come." © 2001 by Alan Horvath | BMI
