Promised Land

Head down as I punch this clock The hours roll, they never stop And I can't ever seem to get ahead Always trying to do what's right The straight and narrow's getting tight Don't know how much longer I can stand And I'm wondering Yeah, I'm wondering Where's my promised land? Out here on this desert road It's hot as fire, but I've grown cold Circling like a plane that never lands And even though the questions change The answers always stay the same Maybe some day I will understand So I'm wondering It's got me wondering Where's my promised land? Yeah, I'm wondering Still, I'm wondering Where's my promised land? But I've run this earth for many years And there's one thing I know There's nowhere on this side of Heaven The streets are made of gold I've long laid down my grand illusions Looking toward the day that I'll be home I won't give up on this race Broken, but I still have faith That this old life is all part of a plan And I can feel it in my soul One day I'll stand before the throne With nothing left but hope in these two hands Through all these seasons I'm still believing You're my promised land In all my grieving I'm still believing You're my promised land You're my promised land My promised land Oooh, oooh You're my promised land My promised land Oooh, oooh You're my promised land
