Head down as I punch this clock
The hours roll, they never stop
And I can't ever seem to get ahead
Always tryin' to do what's right
Straight and narrow's gettin' tight
Don't know how much longer I can stand
And I'm wonderin', yeah I'm wonderin'
Where's my promised land?
Out here on this desert road
It's hot as fire but I've grown cold
Circlin' like a plane that never lands
And even though the questions change
The answers always stay the same
Maybe someday I will understand
So I'm wonderin', got me wonderin'
Where's my promised land?
Yeah I'm wonderin', still I'm wonderin'
Where's my promised land?
Well I've run this Earth for many years
And there's one thing I know
There's nowhere on this side of Heaven
Where streets are made of gold
I've long laid down my grand illusions
Lookin' 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 nothin' left but hope in these two hands
Through all these seasons
I'm still believin'
You're my promised land
And all my grievin'
I'm still believin'
You're my promised land
You're my promised land (You're my promised land)
My promised land (You're my promised land)
You're my promised land (ooh, ooh)
You're my promised land
