Royalty
Francesca Battistelli's song "Royalty" celebrates the believer's identity in Christ, emphasizing transformation from rejection to acceptance and from orphan to heir. The lyrics declare that through God's redemption, believers are crowned with dignity, given authority, and made to reign as royalty. The song encourages listeners to see themselves as God sees them—chosen, adopted, and victorious. It references the biblical theme of adoption as sons and daughters, and the idea of being heirs to the kingdom. The upbeat, declarative style makes it a powerful anthem of faith and identity.
From rejected to accepted
From forgotten to remembered
From the victim to the victor
Who we are is not the same
And it changes night and day
No longer orphans, now sons and daughters
Worthy and wanted, we belong
We are, we are, we are, we are
Crowned in dignity
We are, we are, we are, we are
Heirs to majesty
We're made for victory
We're given authority
To reign like kings and queens
We're royalty
We are, we are, we are, we are
We're royalty
We are, we are, we are, we are
From abandoned to exalted
From so broken to beloved
From the shadows to the light
From the dead, brought back to life
Who we are is not the same
And it changes night and day
No longer orphans, now sons and daughters
Worthy and wanted, we belong, yeah
We are, we are, we are, we are
Crowned in dignity
We are, we are, we are, we are
Heirs to majesty
We're made for victory
We're given authority
To reign like kings and queens
We're royalty
We are, we are, we are, we are
We're royalty
We are, we are, we are, we are
Every lie beneath our feet
When we see the way You see
We know we are chosen and redeemed
(Chosen and redeemed, chosen and redeemed)
We are, we are, we are, we are
Renamed, adopted in
We are, we are, we are, we are
Kings in a kingdom with no end
We are, we are, we are, we are
Crowned in dignity
We are, we are, we are, we are
Heirs to majesty
We're made for victory
We're given authority
To reign like kings and queens
We're royalty (we are, we are)
We're royalty (we are, we are)
We're royalty (we are, we are)
We are, we are, we are, we are
We're royalty
We are, we are, we are, we are
