20th Century Promised Land |
| Stories came like the wind |
| Joining every bridge in the wind |
| Ringing out footsteps |
| Calling out stell-heels |
| I give voice |
| I give breath |
| Count out evenings and stars |
| How fast can these things move on |
| Taking roots back to yourself |
| And the reason for fear was moving on |
| And on |
| Some time |
| Great times |
| Troubled time |
| Fire for the times |
| Ringing out footsteps |
| Calling out steel-heels |
| Promised land |
| Great times in commotion |
| Here come every day |
| It only lasts an hour |
| Unhappy the land that has no heroes |
| No! |
| Unhappy the land that needs heroes |
| And the reason for fear was moving on |
| The speed of light was moving on |
| Don’t cry |
| Tears are only wasted waters |
| Some say God her only loves the proud |
| Be damned on luck |
| But not dishearted |
| Nothing to prove |
| And nothing to present |
| I give voice |
| I give breath |
| Catching winds in my hand |
| My hand |
| Some times |
| Great times |
| Catching wind in my hand |
| My hand |
| Some times |
| Great times |
| Troubled times |
| Fire for the times |
| Ringing out footsteps |
| Calling out steel-heels |
| Promised land |
| Great times in commotion |
| Here comes every dat |
| It only lasts an hour |
| Unhappy the land that has no heroes |
| No! |
| Unhappy the land that needs heroes |
| I’ll call you out |
| I’ll scream you out |
| And I don’t care if you’re afraid |
| When city sounds invade the air |
| Catch the wind in their hands |
| Promised land |
| Catch the wind in their hands |
| Promised lands |
| Promised lands |
| Promised lands |
| Great times in commotion |
