Promise Land
Journey to the Promise Land: Embracing Life's Lighter Roads
Lyrics
City life, it wasn't for me.
Expressing dissatisfaction with city life.
I had enough of the city sight see, so I,
Had enough of city sights, prompting a decision to leave.
went away to the promise land of life.
Choosing to escape to the promise land of life for a better existence.
My friends are there but my brother's here.
Friends are in the promise land, but brother remains in the city.
That means we got nothing to fear, so I,
No fear due to the absence of the brother, reinforcing the decision to leave.
went away to the promise land of life.
Reiterating the choice to move to the promise land of life.
Come to me and I will take you by your hand.
Inviting others to come and be guided.
Come to me and I will show you who I am.
Promising to reveal one's true self to those who come.
Breathing in, completely unaware
Becoming aware of the despair in the city, prompting departure.
that the air I had to breathe was the air of despair, so I,
Realization that the air in the city was filled with despair.
went away to the promise land of life.
Reaffirming the departure to the promise land of life.
Dirt roads, lighter loads.
Choosing simpler paths and lighter burdens on the journey.
God has given me the way I need to go, so I,
Believing that God has provided the necessary guidance.
went away to the promise land of life.
Continuing the journey towards the promise land of life.
Come to me and I will take you by my hand.
Encouraging others to come and be guided.
Come to me and I will show you who I am.
Reiterating the promise to reveal one's true self.
Come to me and I will give you the promise land because you're falling away.
Offering the promise land to those who are experiencing a decline.
Because you're falling away.
Emphasizing the theme of falling away.
(Because you're falling away.)
Repetition of the theme, underlining the concept of decline.
(Because you're falling away.)
Continued emphasis on the theme of falling away.
Because you're falling away.
Reiterating the idea of falling away.
Come to me and I will take you by my hand.
Inviting others to come and be guided despite the falling away theme.
(Because you're falling away.)
Reiteration of the falling away theme.
Come to me and I will show you who I am.
Reiterating the promise to reveal one's true self despite the theme of decline.
(Because you're falling away.)
Emphasizing the falling away theme once again.
Come to me and I will give you the promise land because you're falling away.
Offering the promise land despite the challenges of falling away.
Because you're falling away.
Final emphasis on the theme of falling away.
