Promised Land Songtext
von Drew Holcomb

Through the seas, by the clouds, open feast on the ground
Just remember who′s been runnin' this town
When the rain keeps fallin′ up against your skin
There's a messenger sendin' it down

In the cycle of pretenders, there′s a fall on the way
Bitin′ hands and breakin' our vows
There′s a gift horse waitin' with a smile and a song
Settle in, babe, take a look around

Late at night, with the windows down
Feel the wind beneath your wings
Though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Darlin′, we don't have to fear a thing

In the promised land (promised land)
We don′t have to worry in the promised land (promised land)
Walkin' by the water, won't you take my hand? (Promised land)
We don′t have to worry, darlin′, we don't have to fear a thing


In the shackles of opinion, in the war over pleasure
Throwing punches on the three-inch screen
Writing "God, have mercy" on the bathroom wall
To anyone who might agree with me

What if love was a loss? Would you pay what it costs?
Save a life or save a little face
When you feel of forgiveness, when you know what it′s worth
Oh, it's hard to look the other way

Late at night, with the windows down
Feel the wind beneath your wings
Though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Darlin′, we don't have to fear a thing

In the promised land (promised land)
We don′t have to worry in the promised land (promised land)
Walkin' by the water, won't you take my hand? (Promised land)
We don′t have to worry, darlin′, we don't have to fear a thing

I know enough, I can′t keep the light without you now
I know enough, I can't keep the light without you now
I know enough, I can′t keep the light without you now
I know enough, I can't keep the light without you now


Late at night, with the windows down
Feel the wind beneath your wings
When we walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Darlin′, we don't have to fear a thing

In the promised land (promised land)
We don't have to worry in the promised land (promised land)
Walkin′ by the water, won′t you take my hand? (Promised land)
We don't have to worry, darlin′, we don't have to fear a thing

In the promised land (promised land)
We don′t have to worry in the promised land (promised land)
Walkin' by the water, won′t you take my hand? (Promised land)
We don't have to worry, darlin', we don′t have to fear a thing
No, we don′t have to fear a thing
