Lyrics Promised Land - Tim McMorris

Promised Land

I woke up, opened my eyes
And looked out to the darkening skies
The world has gone crazy as blood fills the streets
Steal, kill, destroy, the cycle repeats
But we cannot get back to these destructive forces
That many digest like a meal with five courses
Like wild running horses, we flee from the truth
And drink up the lies as we confuse our youth
Oh, but don’t lose heart
And don’t you dare let go
There’s always hope in tomorrow
And we make a way
By working to save our today
You may not understand
But know there’s a promised land
And the day may be dark
But yet still we must fight
Let shadows bow down to the light
People so high are brought down so low
But when they need love we shut down the flow
The problem’s so noisy, we just need some silence
But all that we get is more hate and gun violence
And when we should extend some grace
Instead we still choose to shed blood over race
Getting up in my face like I’m somehow displaced
If we keep up the war, we’ll all be erased
Oh, but don’t lose heart
And don’t you dare let go
There’s always hope in tomorrow
And we make a way
By working to save our today
You may not understand
But know there’s a promised land
And the day may be dark
But yet still we must fight
Let shadows bow down to the light
Don’t lose heart
And don’t you dare let go
There’s always hope in tomorrow
And we make a way
By working to save our today
You may not understand
But know there’s a promised land
And the day may be dark
But yet still we must fight
Let shadows bow down to the light
