Promised Land

I can hear you breathing
On the other side of this wall
And I know, you're my brother
It's not too late to make amends
We don't have to wait for the bitter end
Hold on, my brother

And we ran, so far away
While we waited for religion to save the day
And bring us home, from this war
There's no time for love 'cause we're too busy keeping score

Welcome to the promised land
Where dog eats dog and man eats man
God may be crazy if this is the plan
Welcome to the promised land
The promised land, mmm

Welcome to the promised land
Where my brother's blood is still on my hands
Where's the river to wash us clean?
What will it take to cross the line
Find the grace and make it mine
I need you, oh my brother

And the pain keeps us warm
'Cause it's always quiet in the eye of the storm
So bring us home, from this war
There's no time for love 'cause we're too busy keeping score

Welcome to the promised land
Where dog eats dog and man eats man
God may be crazy if this is the plan
Welcome to the promised land
Mmm, the promised land

And if you believe in the promised land
And it's calling, calling your name
And if man forgives the sins of man
Then we finally may find heaven in the promised land

Welcome to the promised land
Where dog eats dog and man eats man
God may be crazy if this is the plan
Welcome to the promised land

The promised land is where we stand
And wait for God to scream
