Promised Land

You say you caught a glimpse
Of a man with reverence
And If you could ever meet
Would you please report to me

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 your'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 breath another day

But what it is they just can't believe
Were comin' in out of the dark
Were gonna reach high for the stars
Were gonna take back what is ours

But 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 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 breath another day

What it is you just can't belive
Were comin' in out of the cold
Were gonna buy before we get sold
Were comin in out of the dark
Were gonna reach high for the stars
Were gonna take back what is ours

Were comin in out of the cold
Were gonna buy before we get sold
Were gonna make new what is old
And free our soul
