Lillian Axe - The Promised Land Lyrics
THE PROMISED LANDNow I lay me down to sleepI pray the Lord my soul to keep.And every moment I’m awakeI pray the Lord my soul to take.Now as I walk down this winding road,I need you to lighten the load.Hey, now, take my hand,I’ll lead you to the Promised Land.One cold December,So long ago,We watched the snow cling to the trees.Your lips were so warmAs you kissed my handWe would have sailed the seven seas.But when you walked away,Said you could not stay,And love lay dying like a wounded dove.But if you come back now,I will take your handAnd lead you to the Promised Land.Are you feeling lonely?Do you need a friend?Well, is the pain too much to stand?The seeds of loveAre sown insideAnd the memories of our lives will guide our hand.So as you fly awayI will sing the dayAnd meet you in the Promised Land.Take my hand to the Promised Land.But when you walked away,Said you could not stay,And love lay bleeding like a wounded dove.But if it needs to beThen I will set you free.And meet you in the Promised Land.Take my hand to the Promised Land.Now I lay me down to sleep,I pray the Lord my soul to keep.And every moment I’m awakeI pray the Lord your soul to take.Music: Stevie BlazeLyrics: Stevie Blaze
