about

The story of a hard working family man who lives in poverty. He dreams of a heaven-like place called Knock n Knowle, and feels a strong desire to "check-in," but has second thoughts, because he had grown critical of the angels that those who shaped his religious upbringing had spoke so highly of. He doubted they would take good enough care of his family, especially since they hadn't helped at all during their continual struggles. He decides not to follow the angels, but rather take control of his own fate, and spend the rest of his time working to build his own version of Knock n Knowle.

lyrics

working man from a broken land
seeks the skies above to lend a hand
while the angels weep for these souls

he closed his eyes listened to the rain
soon drifted off to a higher plane
to a kingdom far from his home
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
we’ve taken care of your every need
your peace of mind will be guaranteed
welcome to knock n knowle

warm reminders recalled from the past
when suddenly he’s overwhelmed by a flash
awareness in the midst of a dream
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
this place is not real
despite what i feel

listen to me listen to me
i’ll set you free you must set me free
take my hand you never saved our land

watch it all go
it’s only knock n knowle
you should believe in man
i just don’t understand
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
home where i belong
hope is not very strong

angered by the oversight
of being ignored as they had prayed all night
while the angels watched as they mourned

he closed his eyes to take a last glance
disloyalty he just would not chance
by leaving his family behind

without a reason
we have no meaning
without a rhyme
then we waste our time
my kingdom is here in this land
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
this place you extol
they call it knock n knowle

listen to me listen to me
i’ll set you free we will be set free
take my hand this time we have a new plan

i’m not gonna go
it’s only knock n knowle
i’ll be a free man
and i’ll live off the land
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
i’m taking back my mind
i’m going to build myself some hope
i’ll never stop believing that
we’ll build this knock n knowle
you can always join us
• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • •
home where i belong
hope is coming along

i stopped depending on angels
to help now i’m finding that i will survive
using reason to guide me
my kingdom starts here in my mind
