What is “Kingdom” about?
"Kingdom" is a rags-to-throne story from someone counted out in the dark who built his throne with his own two hands. The verses tally the sacrifices, sleepless nights and scars behind it, insisting he is "not here by luck." The chorus then opens the gates to others, welcoming dreamers to a kingdom built from nothing but the fire inside. Thirteenth on Paraíso, it leads straight into No Limits, part of a late run of triumphant, self-made anthems.
Kingdom lyrics
(Welcome to the kingdom)
Started from the bottom with a dream and a spark
Everybody counted me out in the dark
But I built this throne with my own two hands
Turned the dirt to gold, now they understand
Every sacrifice, every sleepless night
Every battle fought brought me to the light
I'm not here by luck, I'm here by design
This kingdom is mine
They said I'd never make it
But look at me now
Standing on the mountain
Wearing the crown
Welcome to the kingdom
Where the dreamers come alive
Welcome to the kingdom
Where the stars are born to shine
This is my kingdom
Built from nothing but the fire inside
Welcome to the kingdom
And tonight we're feeling so alive
Every scar I carry tells a story of war
Every closed door opened something more
I walked through the fire and came out clean
Now I'm living every single thing I dreamed
The world tried to break me, tried to steal my light
But I held on tighter through the darkest night
Now the sun is rising on a brand new day
And this kingdom's here to stay
They said I'd never make it
But look at me now
Standing on the mountain
Wearing the crown
Welcome to the kingdom
Where the dreamers come alive
Welcome to the kingdom
Where the stars are born to shine
This is my kingdom
Built from nothing but the fire inside
Welcome to the kingdom
And tonight we're feeling so alive
From the ashes we rise
With the world in our eyes
Nothing can stop us now
This is our time, take a bow
Welcome to the kingdom
Where the dreamers come alive
This is my kingdom
Built from nothing but the fire inside
Welcome to the kingdom
And tonight we're feeling so alive
(The kingdom...)
(This is just the beginning)
