Lyrics

PROMISED LAND
Copyright 1996 David Walburn

Why do I always take the hard road
Why must I always take the long way home
When I am searching for something, searching for something I need to know

When all the answers lie within me, to all the questions ever asked
With inward eyes of self-reflection, I see the light and I know at last

I am a soul on a sojourn, loosely bound by human form
To find my way through life's illusions, seek the truth and be reborn
Be reborn

Why is there suffering and destruction
What can we learn from eyes so sad
Is it all for our salvation, have we forgotten what we all once had

Take a good look at your brother, we are all from a single source
And we can't return without each other
So take my hand and stay the course

We are souls on a sojourn, loosely bound by human form
Find our way through life's illusions, seek the truth and be reborn
Be reborn

I'm on my way to The Promised Land
Going to plow my fields in The Promised Land
Sow my seed in The Promised Land
Feed my soul from The Promised Land
I'm on my way to The Promised Land
I'm on my way to The Promised Land
I'm on my way----

Don't despair at the sight of evil, you'll fan the flames of the mortal man
Turn your thoughts to forgiveness, and keep your eye on the Holy Land

If we'll trust in the higher wisdom, we'll have everything we need
The universe is all abundant, there is no need for fear and greed

We are souls on a sojourn, loosely bound by human form
Find our way through life's illusions, seek the truth and be reborn
Be reborn

I'm on my way to The Promised Land
Going to plow my fields in The Promised Land
Sow my seed in The Promised Land
Feed my soul from The Promised Land
I'm on my way to The Promised Land
I'm on my way to The Promised Land
I'm on my way---

I sit and stare out the cafe window
Watch people dance with the morning light
I am overwhelmed with a sense of wonder
And I give thanks for the gift of life
