the road to the promised land
'Tell you I don't understand it' he said  'What are you hoping to gain?  Rocking this boat and you'll end up capsizing  Throwing it all down the drain  Said to quit chasing the end of the rainbow  Told me we'd find nothing there  But you and I know, girl, there's something else out there.  So come on with me, off on a journey  Far away out on the sea  Sailing away as the dawn tide is turning  Soon you and I will be free  Wo-oh darling I know there is danger  On the road to the promised land  But, oh, the beauty we'll find. Lying here watching the world from a window  Seeing it passing us by  Knowing we're fooling ourselves when we think  We'll be happy up here till we die  Getting so good at inventing excuses  Hiding the feeling inside  But it's growing so strong, I can't wait any longer.  So come on etc repeat  Some getting by, by keeping their eyes closed  Some are too blind they can't see  Others live hiding behind stained glass windows  But that never helped you or me  Wasting the years stumbling round in the shadows  With no one to light up the way  But now we're together, we'll guide one another, so.  come on with me, off on a journey  Far away out on the sea  Sailing away as the dawn tide is turning  To a place where we both will be free  Oh darling I know there is danger  On the road to the promised land  Oh leaving our heartaches behind  Oh darling the beauty we'll find  When we rise up in the morning  Sailing out on the ocean  Just you and me babe  When we lie down in the evening  Oh, the beauty we'll find
