Promised Land letra

You say you caught a glimpse
Of a man with reverence
And if you could ever meet
Could you please report to me?

And tell me, what did he say
To change your day
And keep the fear at bay
If you did, you better learn to pray

I'm sure I heard them say
There'll come a time when all must pay
And every penny that you spend
You're gonna pay back in the end

And tell me, was it worth the cost
If all is lost and the world is robbed?
The only sound is the echo of your sob

And so the fire burned
In the final days, the world refused to turn
And all the oceans turned to sand
Ain't nothing left of our promised land
Got to learn to change our ways
If you wanna live and breathe another day

But what it is, you just can't believe
We're comin' in out of the dark
We're gonna reach high for the stars
We're gonna take back what is ours

With a kiss, you will betray
And all you give, you take away
And in our finest hour
We recognized the taste is sour

Tell me, was it worth the cost
If all is lost and the world is robbed?
The only sound is the echo of your sob

And so the fire burned
In the final days, the world refused to turn
And all the oceans turned to sand
Ain't nothing left of our promised land
Got to learn to change our ways
If we want to live and breathe another day

But what it is, you just can't believe?
We're comin' in out of the cold
We're gonna buy before we get sold
We're gonna make new what is old

We're comin' in out of the dark
We're gonna reach high for the stars
We're gonna take back what is ours

We're comin' in right out of the cold
We're gonna buy before we get sold
We're gonna make new what is old
And free our soul
