Explorers and soldiers
In you and in I
Searching and fighting
To learn, to realize
Straight through our soul
With invisible thread
The pieces undone
Are whole now instead
The fight we're in
Has already been won
Arise
For the kingdom has come
Arise
For the kingdom has come
Your story was made of
Beauty and soul
We're closer to heaven
Than we'll ever know
Woven in time
The scarlet string
To breathe and create
A sacred thing
The fight we're in
Has already been won
Arise
For the kingdom has come
Arise
For the kingdom has come
Arise
For the kingdom has come
Arise
For the kingdom has come
