Promised Land

She stepped away into twilight Didn't have the strength to fight Couldn't hold and let it go Like she ran against quicksand Didn't have the force to stand Couldn't help I didn't know Now I have to let her go It helps me to know Now she's in a better place Now that she let it go She's smiling with her lovely face Even if it's hard For me to understand It could ease the pain To know she's in a promised land Never want to say goodbye Couldn't bear to see you cry Never thought you'd let it go All the thoughts that come to mind How long we've been walking blind Couldn't see your sorrow grow Never thought you'd let it go It helps me to know Now she's in a better place Now that she let it go She's smiling with her lovely face Even if it's hard For me to understand It could ease the pain To know she's in a promised land If this is not the end my friend It's good to know we'll meet again A tear of joy a tear of grief It's all a matter of belief It helps me to know Now she's in a better place Now that she let it go She's smiling with her lovely face Even if it's hard For me to understand It could ease the pain To know she's in a promised land I look at you with my eyes closed Where are you now when I need you most I hope you hear me when I say You're still with me everyday
