You say you caught a glimpse of a man with reverence
Anf if you could ever meet would you please report to me
Tell me what did he say to change your day snd keep the fear at bay

If you did you better learn to pray
I’m sure I heard them say, there’ll come a time ehen all must pay
And every penny that you spend you’re gonna pay back in the end
Tell me, was it worth the cost if all is lost and the world is robbed
The only sound is the echo of your sob
And so the fire burned and in the final days the world refused to turn
All the oceans turned to sand, ain’t nothing left of our promised land
Got to learn to change our way if we want to live and breathe another day
But what it is they just can’t believe
We’re comin’ in out of the dark
We’re gonna reach high for the stars
We’re gonna take back what is ours

With a kiss you will betray and all you give you take away
And in our finest hour we recognised the taste is sour
Tell me, was it worh the cost if all is lost and the world is robbed
The only sound is the echo of your sob
And so the fire burned and the final days the world refused to turn
All the oceans turned to sand, ain’t nothing left of our promised land
Got to learn to change our way if we want to live and breathe another day
What is it you just can’t believe, we’re comin’ in out of the cold
We’re gonna buy before we get sold, we’re gonna make new what is old
We’re comin’ in out of the dark, we’re gonna reach high for the stars
We’re gonna take back what is ours, we’re comin’ in out of the cold
We’re gonna buy before we get sold, we’re gonna make new what is old
And free our soul

Watching the sand fall, listening for the knock
Upon my door,
And waiting… for promised land.

Standing neck deep in life,
My ring of brass lay rusting on the floor.
Is this all?
Because it’s not what i expected.

Somewhere along the way
Friends i once held close fled the fast lane.
I didn’t notice, i just had to make it.
Head down, nose in the grindstone;
The kiss of life placed on my brow
Kept sliddin’ to the ground
And now it’s buried six feet under.

Preaching from the floor again
The same old sad song,
"bartender… bring another drink for their favorite son."

Where did it all go wrong?
What’s the use in even holding on?
Here’s to love, hate… and promises.

Almost called it today.
Turned to face "the void"
Numb with the suffering
And the question,
"why am i…?"
So many times i’ve tried and failed to
Gather my courage, reach again for that nail.
Life’s been like
Dragging feet through sand,
And never finding… promised land.

Preaching from the floor again
The same old sad song,
"bartender… bring another drink for their favorite song."
Where did it all go wrong?
I feel like i’m dying.
Here’s to love, to hate,
To promises and promised land lies.

Where where is the promised land
Where where is the promised land
It can’t be found in viet nam
It can’t be where the eagle has landed
If we want peace for every man
We’ve gotta make the world demand it

Now i see the flag is flying
We’ve got to help them stop the dying
We must bring back the soldier boys
We mustn’t let them die for nothing
War’s a better game when played with toys
Let’s change the game and let’s start loving

Soldiers never fight alone
There’s just as much fighting going on at home
Protests, violence, marches
It’s all going on at home
Bring them all back home (repeat)

I left my home in norfolk virginia, california on my mind.
Straddled that greyhound, it rode me past raleigh, and on across caroline.

Stopped in charlotte and bypassed rock hill, and we never was a minute late.
We was ninety miles out of atlanta by sundown, rollin’ ‘cross the georgia state.

Had motor trouble it turned into a struggle, half way ‘cross alabam,
The ‘hound broke down left us all stranded in downtown birmingham.

Straight off bought me a through train ticket, right across mississippi clean
And i was on the midnight flyer out of birmingham
Smoking into new orleans.

Somebody help me get out of louisiana
Just help me get to houston town.
People are there who care a little ‘bout me
And they won’t let the poor boy down.

Sure as she bore me, she bought me a silk suit, put luggage in my hands,
And i woke up high over albuquerque
On a jet to the promised land.

Workin’ on a t-bone steak a la carte,
Flying over to the golden state;
When the pilot told us in thirteen minutes
We’d be headin’ in the terminal gate.

Swing low sweet chariot, come down easy
Taxi to the terminal zone;
Cut your engines, cool your wings,
And let me make it to the telephone.

Los angeles give me norfolk virginia,
Tidewater four ten on nine
Tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin’
And the poor boy’s on the line.

Put luggage in my hand
And i woke up high over alburquerque
On a jet to the promised land

Working on a t-bone steak a la carte
Flying over to the golden state
Ah when the pilot told us in thirteen minutes
He would set us at the terminal gate

Swing low chariot come down easy
Taxi to the terminal zone
Cut your engines and cool your wings
