The Promised Land

Strawbs - The Promised Land

It was early in the morning
And our ship was still at sea,
With a lifetime far behind us we were free.
We had strong hearts and a faith
In our good Lord's guiding hands;
The mist before us cleared, and we saw the promised land.

With our brothers and our sisters
We soon forged into the land,
Building towns and cities far beyond our dreams.
As the tree which reaches to the sky,
The child who learns to stand,
So we had men of vision to create the promised land.

But the vision soon became
One man's view of wealth and fame,
And the gun became what wisdom used to be.
So the struggle had begun
Which has never yet been won,
Hear the people, hear them saying, "Are we free?"

So God bless you, my promised land,
Let nothing you dismay,
For the hand that guides our fortunes has strange ways.
And when the fight is over
And the judgment is at hand,
Please don't forget our brothers,
Far beyond the promised land.

Mirror lyrics:

Far beyond the promised land.
Please don't forget our brothers,
And the judgment is at hand,
And when the fight is over
For the hand that guides our fortunes has strange ways.
Let nothing you dismay,
So God bless you, my promised land,

Hear the people, hear them saying, "Are we free?"
Which has never yet been won,
So the struggle had begun
And the gun became what wisdom used to be.
One man's view of wealth and fame,
But the vision soon became

So we had men of vision to create the promised land.
The child who learns to stand,
As the tree which reaches to the sky,
Building towns and cities far beyond our dreams.
We soon forged into the land,
With our brothers and our sisters

The mist before us cleared, and we saw the promised land.
In our good Lord's guiding hands;
We had strong hearts and a faith
With a lifetime far behind us we were free.
And our ship was still at sea,
It was early in the morning
