Promised Land

Head down as I punch this clock
The hours roll, they never stop
And I can't ever seem to get ahead
Always trying to do what's right
The straight and narrow's getting tight
Don't know how much longer I can stand

And I'm wondering
Yeah, I'm wondering
Where's my promised land?

Out here on this desert road
It's hot as fire, but I've grown cold
Circling like a plane that never lands
And even though the questions change
The answers always stay the same
Maybe some day I will understand

So I'm wondering
It's got me wondering
Where's my promised land?
Yeah, I'm wondering
Still, I'm wondering
Where's my promised land?

But I've run this earth for many years
And there's one thing I know
There's nowhere on this side of Heaven
The streets are made of gold
I've long laid down my grand illusions
Looking toward the day that I'll be home

I won't give up on this race
Broken, but I still have faith
That this old life is all part of a plan
And I can feel it in my soul
One day I'll stand before the throne
With nothing left but hope in these two hands

Through all these seasons
I'm still believing
You're my promised land

In all my grieving
I'm still believing
You're my promised land

You're my promised land
My promised land
Oooh, oooh
You're my promised land
My promised land
Oooh, oooh
You're my promised land
