Promised Land Lyrics – The Ridleys

All the trees you see, started out as seeds
Then they grew and they grew
So much bigger than they were
I don’t think we’re any different
All we strive to be, starts with you and me
Oh, we grew, oh, we grew
So much better than we were
We can grow more I believe it

And I know it’s getting hard to remember where we started
We’re in the middle of the road to the promised land
If we hold on I promise we’ll see a better plan
And I know it’s getting hard to remember how we got here
We’re in the middle of the road to the promised land
If we hold on I promise we’ll see a better plan

Don’t you know my dear, I’m blinded by the fear
That we’ll lose, oh, we’ll lose precious seconds in the sand
And in the end see it fruitless
But this much is clear, all throughout the years
Oh, he used, oh, he used all the time we thought was damned
And all the cuts and the bruises

And I know it’s getting hard to remember where we started
We’re in the middle of the road to the promised land
If we hold on I promise we’ll see a better plan
And I know it’s getting hard to remember how we got here
We’re in the middle of the road to the promised land
If we hold on I promise we’ll see a better plan

Our fathers gave us all the faith their fathers never had
And our mothers gave us all the love they wished to receive
Oh, how blessed is the land
Our children will lay their heads down and settle in

And I know it’s getting hard to remember how we started
We’re in the middle of the road to the promised land
If we hold on I promise I’ll be a better man
