TobyMac - Promised Land Lyrics

Head down as I punch this clock
The hours roll they never stop
And I can’t ever seem to get ahead
 
Always tryin’ to do what’s right
The straight and narrows getting tight
Don’t know how much longer I can stand
 
And I’m wonderin’ yeah I’m wonderin’ where’s my promised land
 
Out here on this dessert road
It’s hot as fire but I’ve grown cold
Circlin’ like a plane that never lands
 
And even though the questions change
The answers always stay the same
Maybe someday I will understand
 
So I’m wonderin’, got me wonderin where’s my promised land
Yeah I’m wonderin’ still I’m wonderin where’s my promised land
 
Well I’ve run this earth for many years
And there’s one thing I know
There’s nowhere on this side of heaven
Where streets are made of gold 
I’ve long laid down my grand illusions 
Lookin toward the day that I’ll be home
 
I won’t give up on this race
Broken but I still have faith 
That this old life is all part of a plan
And I can feel it in my soul, one day I’ll stand before the throne
With nothing left but hope in these 2 hands
 
Through all these seasons, I’m still believing, You’re my promised land
In all my grievin’ I’m still believin’, You’re my promise land.
