"Promised Land" lyrics

All the trees you see
Started out as seeds
Then they grew and they grew so much bigger than they were
I don't think we're any different

All we strive to be
Starts with you and me
Oh we grew oh we grew
So much better than we were
We can grow more I believe it

And I know it's getting hard to remember where we started
We're in the middle of the road to the promised land
If we hold on I promise we'll see a better plan
And I know it's getting hard to remember how we got here
We're in the middle of the road to the promised land
If we hold on I promise we'll see a better plan

Don't you know my dear
I'm blinded by the fear
That we'll lose, oh we'll lose precious seconds in the sand
And in the end see it fruitless

But this much is clear
All throughout the years
Oh he used oh he used all the time we thought was damned
And all the cuts and the bruises

And I know it's getting hard to remember where we started
We're in the middle of the road to the promised land
If we hold on I promise we'll see a better plan
And I know it's getting hard to remember how we got here
We're in the middle of the road to the promised land
If we hold on I promise we'll see a better plan

Our fathers gave us all the faith their fathers never had
And our mothers gave us all the love they wished to receive
Oh how blessed is the land our children will lay their heads down and settle in

And I know it's getting hard to remember how we started
We're in the middle of the road to the promised land
If we hold on I promise I'll be a better man
