Paul Brady - The Road to the Promised Land lyrics

Tell you I don't understand it' he said 'What are you hoping to gain? Rocking this boat and you'll end up capsizing Throwing it all down the drain Said to quit chasing the end of the rainbow Told me we'd find nothing there But you and I know, girl, there's something else out there. So come on with me, off on a journey Far away out on the sea Sailing away as the dawn tide is turning Soon you and I will be free Wo-oh darling I know there is danger On the road to the promised land But, oh, the beauty we'll find. Lying here watching the world from a window Seeing it pa**ing us by Knowing we're fooling ourselves when we think We'll be happy up here till we die Getting so good at inventing excuses Hiding the feeling inside But it's growing so strong, I can't wait any longer. So come on etc repeat Some getting by, by keeping their eyes closed Some are too blind they can't see Others live hiding behind stained gla** windows But that never helped you or me Wasting the years stumbling round in the shadows With no one to light up the way But now we're together, we'll guide one another, so. Come on with me, off on a journey Far away out on the sea Sailing away as the dawn tide is turning To a place where we both will be free Oh darling I know there is danger On the road to the promised land Oh leaving our heartaches behind Oh darling the beauty we'll find When we rise up in the morning Sailing out on the ocean Just you and me babe When we lie down in the evening Oh, the beauty we'll find
