The Road To The Promised Land Lyrics

The Road To The Promised Land lyrics

Tell you I don't understand it' he said  

 'What are you hoping to gain?  

 Rocking this boat and you'll end up capsizing  

 Throwing it all down the drain  

 Said to quit chasing the end of the rainbow  

 Told me we'd find nothing there  

 But you and I know, girl, there's something else out there.  

  

 So come on with me, off on a journey  

 Far away out on the sea  

 Sailing away as the dawn tide is turning  

 Soon you and I will be free  

 Wo-oh darling I know there is danger  

 On the road to the promised land  

 But, oh, the beauty we'll find. 

  

 Lying here watching the world from a window  

 Seeing it passing us by  

 Knowing we're fooling ourselves when we think  

 We'll be happy up here till we die  

 Getting so good at inventing excuses  

 Hiding the feeling inside  

 But it's growing so strong, I can't wait any longer.  

  

 So come on etc repeat  

  

 Some getting by, by keeping their eyes closed  

 Some are too blind they can't see  

 Others live hiding behind stained glass windows  

 But that never helped you or me  

 Wasting the years stumbling round in the shadows  

 With no one to light up the way  

 But now we're together, we'll guide one another, so.  

  

 come on with me, off on a journey  

 Far away out on the sea  

 Sailing away as the dawn tide is turning  

 To a place where we both will be free  

 Oh darling I know there is danger  

 On the road to the promised land  

 Oh leaving our heartaches behind  

 Oh darling the beauty we'll find  

  

 When we rise up in the morning  

 Sailing out on the ocean  

 Just you and me babe  

 When we lie down in the evening  

 Oh, the beauty we'll find
