The Road to the Promised Land - Paul Brady

'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 passing 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 glass 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
