Promised Land
[Verse 1]
Head down as I punch this clock
The hours roll, they never stop
And I can never seem to get ahead
Always tryna do what's right
The straight and narrow's getting tight
Don't know how much longer I can stand

[Chorus]
And I'm wondering
Yeah, I'm wondering, "Where's my promised land?"

[Verse 2]
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 changed
The answers always stay the same
Maybe someday I will understand

[Chorus]
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?"
[Verse 3]
Well, 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 delusions
Looking toward the day that I'll be home

[Bridge]
I won't give up on this race
Broken, but I still have faith
That this whole 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

[Chorus]
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

[Post-Chorus]
You're my promised land
My promised land
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
You're my promised land
My promised land
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Outro]
You're my promised land
