Promised Land*

In the barren desert, my mind is racing quickly

My heart is burning hotly for your promised land

My tongue is swelling and my belly is growling

Won’t you let me get my fill in your promised land

Darling, we both know what it takes and know what’s at stake

I think we can make it to the promised land tonight

From the mountain, I see milk and honey flowing

The wine is pouring through your promised land

Over and over, I have spied your river

And desired to cross it into your promised land

Darling, we both know what it takes and know what’s at stake

I think we can make it to the promised land tonight

Still your waters and I’ll wade through them

To take a hold of your promised land

The water’s rising quickly, reach out your hand to save me

And guide me gently to your promised land

Darling, we both know what it takes and know what’s at stake

I think we can make it to the promised land tonight
