May our Kingdom come
A kingdom without borders
That stretches sea to sea
Where every man’s a member
And every woman too
A kingdom where the king
Hangs washing on the line
And greets the folk with cheery wave
Who meets them all the time
A kingdom that has no army
For the world is but one country
No ‘other people’ but only us
One single happy family.
A kingdom with a living wage
So each man has enough each day
And each man has a role to play
Time to work and time to pray.
This kingdom’s not a kingdom
In the well known way
No border guards, no refugees
With each one here to live and stay.
Every man a citizen
And every woman too
No minister for justice
Rights for all, it’s true.
Front doors have keys left in them
For years and generations
Most doors lack locks and keys
It’s a free and open nation.
At night when coming home
Young women travel freely
Children play in schoolyards
Returning when they’re hungry.
For no one’s hungry here
In a country where we share
No one hoards for there’s no need
When food and love is guaranteed.
This kingdom sounds a long way off
But hard as it may seem
This kingdom will arrive the day
We live within our means.
