Promised Land - Bobby Caldwell

Promised Land - Bobby Caldwell
We've been searchin' up
And down this weary country
Worn out looking for ways
That we can feed our hunger
We were told
The streets were paved with gold
And the future would be ours to hold
But we've seen
The dream get bought and sold
In the promised land
We don't wanna hear it anymore
'Cause the common man
Has heard all these promises before
In the promised land
We try to be faithful
To our true convictions
But there's so much danger
In the heart's addictions
We were told that we could have it all
Now our backs are up against the wall
As we stand looking at the rise and fall
In the promised land
We don't wanna hear it anymore
'Cause the common man
Has heard all these promises before
Smoldering ice
Concrete and steel
Rebuild the dream that no longer seems real
Tell me where did we go wrong
And what will it take
To heal this condition
Before it's too late
In the promised land
We don't wanna hear it anymore
'Cause the common man
Has heard all these promises before
In the promised land
In the promised land
In the promised land
In the promised land
The promised land
In the promised land
In the promised land
In the promised land
In the promised land
Promised land
In the promised land
