The Promised Land - Lyric Video

It simply doesn’t matter who you are
These past few years have left us all with bruises and scars
And the the healing’s never gonna begin
‘Until we let one another in

‘Cause the only way we’re ever gonna survive
Is if we put these differences among us they have exploited to the side
‘Cause what keeps our captors up at night
Is the fear we will unite

We were blinded by the glare of their lies
Until the darkness forced open our eyes
And now we see we have been divided and conquered this whole time

So take my hand and won’t you come with me
To a place where we can finally really be free?
Where they don’t overreach into our homes
‘Cause everyone respects the right to be left the hell alone
And no one uses words like “left” or “right”
‘Cause all the darkness of division has been drowned out by all of our light
And we’ll build His kingdom with our hands
And all who love will be welcomed in the Promised Land

And hateful hypocrites need never apply
Until they put their Bibles down and actually look into their brothers’ eyes
Cause everyone that comes into our sights
Is a reflection of His light

Always another scheme to divide
Muslim - Jew, gay and straight, black and white
But beneath our skin we all bleed the same

So take my hand and won’t you come with me
To a place where we can finally really be free?
Where they don’t overreach into our homes
‘Cause everyone respects the right to be left the hell alone
(Left alone)
And no one uses words like “left” or “right”
‘Cause all the darkness of division has been drowned out by all of our light
Every single woman, child, and man
Who leads with love is welcome in the Promised Land

And this time when the warlords try to tear our bridges down
We will simply meet up on the new freshly paved common ground
‘Cause hatred doesn’t stand a chance when push comes to shove
Against the frequency of love

So take my hand and won’t you come with me
To a place where we can finally really be free?
Where they don’t overreach into our homes
‘Cause everyone respects the right to be left the hell alone
(The hell alone)
And no one uses words like “left” or “right”
‘Cause all the darkness of division has been drowned out by all of our light
Just say the world and we’ll go hand in hand
And march right through the pearly gates of the Promised Land

Every single woman, child, and man
Who leads with love is welcome in the Promised Land
