(NASHVILLE, TN) A hungry child on a grimy flooring. A lonely man and his silver Porsche. A single mother on her second shift. A teenage woman with scars on her wrist.
Some songs provide you with goosebumps. Most don’t. From the second When the Kingdom Comes, the most recent launch from nation celebrity Lee Brice begins, it’s not arduous to determine that this tune would be the former.
Brice isn’t any stranger to hit songs, having garnered 9 #1 radio singles together with: I Drive Your Truck, Onerous to Love, I Don’t Dance, Reminiscence I Don’t Mess With, and Ingesting Class simply to call a couple of. However this one hits a bit otherwise and appears to mirror an artist who just isn’t solely returning to his roots within the church however has grow to be a eager observer of the human situation, and the way these two are inextricably linked in right now’s world.
Each tune has a narrative to inform however, in lots of instances, the story behind how a tune is written and finally launched is commonly a narrative in itself. When the Kingdom Comes isn’t any exception. Breitbart Information caught up with Brice and his spouse, Sara, a co-writer on the tune, for an unique interview during which we realized about this tune’s journey from ideation to fruition, and that journey began with a title.
Somewhat over a yr and a half in the past, a great pal and collaborator, multi-platinum songwriter, Jon Stone, known as the Brices late one evening, excited a couple of title for a tune. When Lee and Sara heard the title When the Kingdom Comes, they each knew instantly they needed to pursue it. However typically life will get in the way in which and timing supplies a hurdle. It wasn’t till a yr and a half later that Lee and Sara have been ending up a late dinner, and Lee discovered himself the recipient of a sort of inspiration he had felt earlier than when writing songs that finally went to #1. “I had a kind of moments and I’ve had couple of ‘em like I Don’t Dance and One among Them Ladies,” Lee instructed Breitbart Information. “I’ve to put in writing this tune.”
This may be the evening When the Kingdom Comes would discover a life. Lee and Sara known as over one other frequent collaborator, multi-platinum, award successful songwriter with quite a few #1 singles, Billy Montana, whom Lee described as a “religion mentor and a poet.”
When the three obtained in a room, the tune “fell out shortly,” in response to Sara. Lee had been listening to the refrain in his head for over a yr. He had the melody and the imagery. It was the verses they wanted to hone in on. Sara instructed us that little one trafficking was heavy on her thoughts on the time and never solely that, her youthful half-sister has been chopping herself, was damaged and “in a extremely unhealthy place and questioning her religion.” So, when the writers started to debate concepts Sara stated “I image hungry children.” After which Montana stated “a hungry child on a grimy flooring,” and added “a lonely man and his silver Porsche” and Lee added “a single mother on her second shift,” after which pondering of his spouse’s sister, the ultimate line revealed itself, “a teenage woman with scars on her wrist.” That is the songwriting course of.
Montana described the writing course of that evening to Breitbart Information: “I bear in mind feeling like the entire evening was a kind of ‘meant to be’ moments… hanging out on the again porch within the quiet evening air, all of it simply felt prefer it was alleged to occur. I obtained chills a number of occasions in the course of the writing course of – one thing that not often occurs. It made me imagine the tune’s message was method larger than we have been.”

And whenever you hear When the Kingdom Comes, that Montana’s phrases are an apt description. For Lee, the thought of the tune was initially a couple of “large vacation spot second…there’s gonna be a time when every part is gonna be okay,” he instructed us. A sentiment powerfully on show within the refrain lyric:
When the Kingdom comes
After we see the Son
Rollin’ again the sky
There’ll be nothin’ left
Nothin’ left however love
When the Kingdom comes
However as he lived with the tune, Lee instructed us he began pondering “every single day proper right here is heaven on earth. You already know, the Kingdom can come for you tomorrow…the Kingdom is every single day you get up. That’s what Jesus meant for us.”
When requested what he desires listeners to remove from the tune, one phrase summed it up for Lee…..hope. Sara chimed in with some scripture: “Don’t be concerned. Don’t be afraid.”

WHEN THE KINGDOM COMES (LYRICS) – Brice, Brice, Montana, Stone
A hungry child
On a grimy flooring
A lonely man
In his silver Porsche
A single mother
On her second shift
A teenage woman
With scars on her wrist
When the Kingdom comes
When everyone knows why
After we see the Son
Rollin’ again the sky
There’ll be nothin’ left
Nothin’ left however love
When the Kingdom comes
When the Kingdom comes
Each shattered soul
Each shade of pores and skin
All of the damaged hearts
Are gonna beat once more
Gonna discover their method
Gonna really feel the fee
Some iron nails
And a picket cross
When the Kingdom comes
When everyone knows why
After we see the Son
Rollin’ again the sky
There’ll be nothin’ left
Nothin’ left however love
When the Kingdom comes
When the Kingdom comes
When the primary are final
And the final are first
Received’t be no starvation
Received’t be no thirst

When everyone knows why
After we see the Son

We’re gonna all know why
We’re gonna see the Son
Rollin again the sky
There’ll be nothin’ left
Nothin’ left however love
When the Kingdom comes
When the Kingdom comes
When the Kingdom comes
