lyrics

Sometimes it feels like I’m standing on the mountain
Got the world beneath my feet
How high I’ve climbed, how many miles, well I’ve stopped counting
Still the dream seems out of reach
These days I’ve learned to count my blessings
Breathe the clean air in my lungs
But I know there’s still a voice inside me calling
Says the road has just begun
To the Promised Land

Seems like only yesterday I was starting
With the energy of youth
Kicked down all the walls that held my heart in
Gonna be nobodys’ fool
Had no plans just my ideals and my guitar
And a bunch of songs I thought I knew
Simone and me we would play the clubs and bars
Tell the many and the few
Of the Promised Land

Was the music kept my feet on the road
And the songs that kept my heart full of hope
And the love that would not let me go

Sometimes people try to change the road they’re given
They dig it up and they start again
Back at the start they don’t change their direction
And it all works out the same
I thought by now, well I’d have reached my destination
But the road keeps winding on
I trip and fall but I know there’s nothing wasted
It’s all treasure that belongs
In the Promised Land
