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 someday I will understand

So I'm wondering, got me wondering
Where's my promised land

Yeah I'm wondering still I'm wondering
Where's my promised land

Well I've run this earth for many years
And there's one thing I know
There's nowhere on this side of heaven
Where 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 promise land

You're my promise land
You're my promise land
You're my promise land
