Promised Land

Uh-uh, uh-uh

Uh-uh, uh-uh

I woke up, opened my eyes

And looked out to the darkening skies

The world has gone crazy as blood fills the streets

Steal, kill, destroy, the cycle repeats

But we cannot give into these destructive forces

That many digest like a meal with five courses

Like wild running horses, we flee from the truth

And drink up the lies as we confuse our youth

Oh, but don't lose heart, and don't you dare let go

There's always hope in tomorrow

When we make a way

By working to save our today

You may not understand

But know there's a promised land

And the day may be dark, but yet still we must fight

Let shadows bow down to the light

People so high, they're brought down so low

But when they need love, we shut down the flow

The problems so noisy we just need some silence

But all that we get is more hate and gun violence

And when we should extend some grace

Instead, we still choose to shed blood over race

Getting up in my face, like I'm somehow displaced

If we keep up the war, we'll all be erased

But don't lose heart and don't you dare let go

There's always hope in tomorrow

When we make a way

By working to save our today

You may not understand

But know there's a promised land

And the day may be dark, but yet still we must fight

Let shadows bow down to the light

Don't lose heart and don't you dare let go

There's always hope in tomorrow

When we make a way

By working to save our today

You may not understand

But know there's a promised land

And the day may be dark, yet still we must fight

Let shadows bow down to the light
