Promised Land

Past lucid doors and seven seas Through outer thoughts and inner dreams Far beyond our last few words And past the waves a voice is heard Inside a world of past mistakes We’re giving up before we wake Within the fear of every mind We’re sinking deep before we find Throughout a world of emptiness Light and dark now hide from us There are so many points of view Through fighting eyes you’re finding you Past safety’s arms and illusionists Through lovers eyes and their hypnotists Far away in a distant plain Far past the choice and everyone we blame Outside my mind but inside my heart Stands places new and another start Inside the dream of another world I remind myself of everything I held Past my own fire stands another place Through my own dreams I recall its face Far away but within my hands There is a hope and there are promised lands
