| Didn’t anyone ever tell you
|
| Didn’t anyone ever say
|
| Did you capture a vision of glory
|
| As she held out her hand today
|
| It’s reaching to the broken heart
|
| Right down to where you stand
|
| Didn’t anyone ever tell you
|
| This is your land
|
| Didn’t anyone ever tell you
|
| It doesn’t matter the last will be first
|
| For the sad and the meek and the righteous
|
| And all those who will hunger and thirst
|
| So let the poor in spirit know
|
| These dreams are not of sand
|
| Didn’t anyone ever tell you
|
| This is your land
|
| You’ll be given the robes of princes
|
| You’ll be flying on golden wings
|
| You will live in pavilions of splendor
|
| Be surrounded by beautiful things
|
| So hold on to these promises
|
| And keep them in your hand
|
| Didn’t anyone ever tell you
|
| This is your land |
