Set on Fire Version 2

Robot Karaoke


​(Spoken word)
Inner State yo, the kingdom is within us
​(Verse 1)
Woke up this morning, scrolling through the feed,
Searching for the answer, the missing kind of peace.
They said, "Look over here! Buy this, and you'll be whole."
Chasing the next headline, losing grip of my soul.
I flew to every country, followed every trend,
Trying to find the something that just wouldn't end.
But every mountain top felt hollow when I got there,
Just a temporary high, breathing thin air.
​(Pre-Chorus)
Then I heard a whisper, cutting through the noise,
Putting down the megaphone, ignoring all the boys
Who told me it's a treasure, buried in the sand.
He said, "It's closer than your wrist, closer than your hand."
​(Chorus)
Stop looking on the outside, shut the map down!
No flag to wave, no city to crown!
Heard the voice say, "Don't you check your GPS,
For the Kingdom of God is within your chest!"
It's an Inner State—the power and the peace,
The only place where the searching has to cease.
Yeah, it's not "Lo, here!" or "Lo, there!" on the screen,
It's the love-in-your-heart, running deep and clean!
​(Verse 2)
I used to think that heaven was a mansion made of light,
Waiting 'til the future, way beyond the night.
Spent my time behaving, just to make the grade,
Missing all the beauty in the life that He has made.
If I'm waiting for a miracle, a thunder in the sky,
I might miss the gentle power that is standing right nearby.
'Cause He doesn't need a temple, or a fancy golden gate,
He just needs a heart that's ready to unlock its heavy weight.
​(Pre-Chorus)
Now I hear the whisper, cutting through the noise,
Putting down the megaphone, ignoring all the boys
Who told me it's a treasure, buried in the sand.
He said, "It's closer than your wrist, closer than your hand."
​(Chorus)
Stop looking on the outside, shut the map down!
No flag to wave, no city to crown!
Heard the voice say, "Don't you check your GPS,
For the Kingdom of God is within your chest!"
It's an Inner State—the power and the peace,
The only place where the searching has to cease.
Yeah, it's not "Lo, here!" or "Lo, there!" on the screen,
It's the love-in-your-heart, running deep and clean!
(Bridge)
Don't wait for the parade, don't wait for the alarm,
You're carrying the power, safe and out of harm.
The Righteousness, the Joy, the Peace—it's here, it's now,
The time for heaven is this moment, take a bow!

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh it's an inner state yo!

​(Chorus)
Stop looking on the outside, shut the map down!
No flag to wave, no city to crown!
Heard the voice say, "Don't you check your GPS,
For the Kingdom of God is within your chest!"
It's an Inner State—the power and the peace,
The only place where the searching has to cease.
Yeah, it's not "Lo, here!" or "Lo, there!" on the screen,
It's the love-in-your-heart, running deep and clean!
​(Outro)
Within you.
Yeah, deep and clean.
The Kingdom... inside
