The Promised Land 

Bleeding feet flee the night   
Screaming shadows in fires light 
I was a wind swept leaf 
Through the grief 
The souls are carried to the sky 
In the smoke of the ashes they lie 
I was a younger man  Please understand 
Oh take my hand I can see the promised land 

Labor for freedom they said 
Cursing God for all the dead 
Children of a lost fate 
Walked through the gate 
It was the longest day 
We found prayers that gone astray 
I am an older man  Please understand 
Oh take my hand  I can see the promised land
