The Promised Land 歌詞
The Promised Land - James "J.T." Taylor
Written by：Paul Gordon
We've been searchin' up and down this weary country
Worn out looking for ways that we can feed our hungry
We were told the streets were paved with gold
Paved gold
And the future would be ours to hold
But we've seen the dream get bought and sold
In the promised land
We don't wanna hear it anymore
'Cause the common man
Has heard all these promises before
Yeaaaaah
In the promised land
We try to be faithful to our true convictions
But there's so much danger in the heart's addictions
We were told that we could have it all
Have it all
Now our backs are up against the wall
As we stand looking at the rise and fall
In the promised land
We don't wanna hear it anymore
'Cause the common man
Has heard all these promises before
Smoldering ice
Concrete and steel
Rebuild the dream that no longer seems real
Tell me where did we go wrong
And what will it take
To heal this condition
Before it's too late now
In the promised land
We don't wanna hear it anymore
'Cause the common man
Has heard all these promises before
In the promised land
We don't wanna hear it anymore
'Cause the common man
He's heard all these promises before
In the promised land
'Cause the common man
He's heard it all
No more promises
In the promised land
We don't wanna hear it anymore
'Cause the common man
Looking for ways we can feed the hungry
And what will it take
In the promised land
