Promised Land

You say you caught a glimpse

Of a man with reverence

And if you could ever meet

Could you please report to me?

And tell me, what did he say

To change your day

And 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 when all must pay

And every penny that you spend

You're gonna pay back in the end

And 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

In the final days, the world refused to turn

And all the oceans turned to sand

Ain't nothing left of our promised land

Got to learn to change our ways

If you wanna live and breathe another day

But what it is, you 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 recognized the taste is sour

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

In the final days, the world refused to turn

And all the oceans turned to sand

Ain't nothing left of our promised land

Got to learn to change our ways

If we want to live and breathe another day

But what it is, 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 right out of the cold

We're gonna buy before we get sold

We're gonna make new what is old

And free our soul
