The Promised Land
The promised land
The promised land
Look for me in the rainbow; I am always there.
Dancing with your music, no time to spare.
I am always a drunken and dancing with your songs.
I am living within you; you do always care.
I will be the sunlight, moonlight when it’s night.
Nightingales sing all night since you are always bright.
I am always drinking, drinking of your dew.
Drunken like a swallow dancing in your light.
I have long been waiting, hoping to know you,
I can hear your music, loving it through and through.
Me and all the flowers are always trying hard,
Hoping you can teach us more than we can do.
Watching you at sunset underneath a tree,
Seeking to find wisdom, learning how to see.
My eyes are so blinded that they see only gray.
Gray is always sorrow; free me in your glee.
I am always lonely; nature is my friend.
Talking, smiling, and dancing, I always do pretend.
Your sounds to me are music, music to my soul,
tell me, hold me, teach me how all this will end.
