Promised Land

All the trees you see

Started out as seeds

And they grew and they grew so much bigger than they were

I don't think we're any different

♪

All we strive to be

Starts with you and me

Oh we grew, oh we grew

So much better than we were

We can grow more I believe it

And I know it's getting hard to remember where we started

We're in the middle of the road to the promised land

If we hold on I promise we'll see a better plan

And I know it's getting hard to remember how we got here

We're in the middle of the road to the promised land

If we hold on I promise we'll see a better plan

♪

Don't you know my dear

I'm blinded by the fear

That we'll lose, oh we'll lose precious seconds in the sand

And in the end, see it fruitless

♪

But this much is clear

All throughout the years

Oh he used, oh he used all the time we thought was damned

And all the cuts and the bruises

And I know it's getting hard to remember where we started

We're in the middle of the road to the promised land

If we hold on I promise we'll see a better plan

And I know it's getting hard to remember how we got here

We're in the middle of the road to the promised land

If we hold on I promise we'll see a better plan

♪

Our fathers gave us all the faith their fathers never had

And our mothers gave us all the love they wished to receive

Oh, how blessed is the land

Our children will lay their heads down and settle in

♪

And I know it's getting hard to remember how we started

We're in the middle of the road to the promised land

If we hold on I promise I'll be a better man
