Lyrics
Sometimes the kingdom of Heaven feels so close
Like I could peel back the world and let it in
Sometimes the earth feels like a ghost
The light grows faint, the sky feels thin

And I see the kingdom of Heaven
Close to me, the kingdom of God
And I see the kingdom of Heaven
Drawing close, drawing close

Sometimes the kingdom is like the smallest seed
Ready to grow to the tallest tree
Sometimes the kingdom seems just like a pearl
Hidden away, but ready to shine

And I know the kingdom of Heaven
Starts to grow, the kingdom of God
And I see the kingdom of Heaven
Drawing close, drawing close

Sometimes it seems it's everywhere I look
Written in the rain, drawn in the wind
Sometimes the world seems like an open book
Ready to tell the story of it's king
The Heavens declare your glory
The skies proclaim your deeds
The kingdom of God lies before me
If only I knew how to see

Sometimes it seems so far away
Sometimes it's like a dream
But sometimes, just sometimes, sometimes when I pray
I catch a glimpse...
