Kingdom Of Comfort Lyrics
Save me save me
From the kingdom of comfort where I am king
From my unhealthy lust of material things
I built myself a happy home
In my palace on my own
My castle falling in the sand
Pull me out, please grab my hand
I just forgot where I came from
Save me save me
From the kingdom of comfort where I am king
From my unhealthy lust of material things
I rob myself of innocence
With the poison of indifference
I buy my stuff at any cost
A couple of clicks and I pay the price
Cuz what I gain is someone else's loss
Save me save me
From the kingdom of comfort where I am king
From my unhealthy lust of material things
Save me save me
From the kingdom of comfort where I am king
To this kingdom of heaven where you are king
Song Description:
"This is more than a song it's where we're at as a band and individuals. We don't profess to have answers to the big questions of living with the poor, the oppressed and the marginalised on our global doorstep, but we are wrestling with these questions... and our comfortable kingdoms.
It started in Brazil in 2006, while on tour and once again faced with communities that have extreme wealth and extreme poverty. I was listening to Rob Bell from Mars Hill in Grand Rapids, MI talk about Solomon amassing great wealth and wisdom, and how he was "to do justice and righteousness," but how he became the oppressor, forgot to tell the story of rescue and freedom, and, in the end, the nation ended up in exile.
What is our kingdom of comfort? It's when we are comfortable and safe in our isolated environments, our religion, our "castles." When we become indifferent to the struggles of others when we are fearful of being inclusive and diverse! It's a new sound for us...I love this song!" - Stu G (Delirious?)
