The Promised Land


Love – is a promised land
Something seen but never gained
Wanted, desired, rarely attained
Love – is a promised land

Hope – that’s a promised land too
A karat dangling on a string
Chasing a rainbow, chasing your dreams
Hope – is a promised land

Moses led God’s people – out of Egypt
Wandered through the desert – 40 years
Took them all the way – to the brink of Canaan
But was never allowed – to enter in

Heaven – is a promised land
You do what’s right, but in the end
While others go their own way
Heaven – is a promised land
Heaven – is a promised land
Will I ever be allowed to enter in?
Will I ever be allowed to enter in?
