Verse 1: (Blues rhythm, soulful vocals) The kingdom of heaven's like a landowner, see, He hired men for his vineyard, agreed on a fee. He sent them to work, but he wasn't done, He saw more men idle, said, "You go to work, I'll pay what's right, my son." Pre-Chorus: (Bluesy) He went out again, at the third, sixth, ninth hour, Hired more men, said, "I'll pay you fair, don't you fret, my brother." At the eleventh hour, he found more standing there, "Why you standing idle? Go to work, don't you dare." Chorus: (Soulful, melancholic melody) THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, A LANDOWNER'S STORY, HE HIRED MEN, PAID THEM FAIR, GLORY, GLORY. Verse 2: (Blues rhythm, storytelling vocals) When evening came, he told his manager, "Pay the men, Start with the last, then the first, don't you stutter, my friend." The last men got a denarius, the first thought they'd get more, But they also got a denarius, started to grumble and roar. Bridge: (Blues riff, with a soulful message) They complained, "We worked all day, in the scorching heat, While they worked one hour, and you made them equal, that's a cheat." The landowner said, "I do no wrong, I pay what I choose, Is it not lawful for me to do as I please with what's mine, my muse?" Chorus: (Repeat chorus, building emotion) THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, A LANDOWNER'S STORY, HE HIRED MEN, PAID THEM FAIR, GLORY, GLORY. Outro: (Blues rhythm, reflective vocals) So the last will be first, and the first will be last, Jesus taught this lesson, die to self, be first to serve, be fast. He told his disciples, "I'm going to Jerusalem, I'll be condemned, mocked, flogged, and crucified, that's the plan, my friend." But on the third day, he'll rise again, that's the glory, So keep your faith, stay strong, don't you worry, my brother, that's the story. (Blues melody fade-out with a soulful vibe)
