The Promise HTM Songtext
von Sam Glaser

We returned to a wilderness
Scorching heat and frost
As if the stones were waiting for an answer
Wandering through the valleys
Could trees grow here again?

And then a miraculous sound
When that first shovel hit the ground

Plant an orchard here
Watch the fields of green appear

Now we walk through our land
With our destiny in hand
With each step we′re fulfilling a promise

That the time would arrive
When the stones would come alive

With each step we are living the promise


At the crossroads of continents
Where countless armies tread
Over hillsides of dust and desolation
She lay waiting for her people
Barren and forlorn

Until the fateful day
That her children came to stay

When our joy resumes
We can make this desert bloom

Now we walk through our land
With our destiny in hand
With each step we're fulfilling a promise

That the time would arrive
When the stones would come alive

With each step we are living the promise

Oh, picture us a seedling planted in our native soil
Like the olive tree our roots are ever growing

Now we walk through our land
With our destiny in hand
With each step we′re fulfilling a promise
That the time would arrive
When the stones would come alive
With each step we are living the promise


Now we walk through our land
With our destiny in hand
With each step we're fulfilling a promise
Now the time has arrived
That the stones have come alive
With each step we are living the promise
