The Kingdom

Where I'm from there are no mountains

And time is standing still

Where I'm from there's barely space left

Still they're running up a hill

Where I'm from they don't like changes

Even if alarm bells ring

Where I'm from they have a princess

Where I'm from they have a king

Where I'm from they don't like dreamers

They are told to shut their mouth

Where I'm from they're divided

Between the North and the South

Where I'm from it's like a long night

That never turns to day

Where I'm from the kingdom's trembling

Where I'm from they've lost the way

Sing it loud today

Sing it loud today

I'm singing it loud today

I am the one that got away

Where I'm from they just keep rooted

Heads are always hanging low

Where I'm from the Congo River

Never got nowhere to go

Where I'm from words are repeated

But they never really rhyme

Where I'm from the kingdom's trembling

Where I'm from they're losing time

Where I'm from there's a lack of heroes

Both in politics and song

Where I'm from the more they fix it

The faster everything goes wrong

Where I'm from I still remember

So I will sing it every day

That this kingdom is still my kingdom

It's encoded in my DNA
