Your Own Promised Land

Listen to poem:
Burning all bridges behind you, standing on the edge of a plateau If ever there was a time to see if you can fly, it is now, let's go There is no looking back, time to spread those wings and fly This is it; this is now your moment of do, or die These emotions you are about to feel are beyond all others As your life flashes before you and all your mistakes in your life it un-covers This is the greatest journey you will ever make before your feet touch back on this earth To find yourself still standing to enter a time of your own re-birth With you leaving all the past behind with nothing, you start anew To a very different life style with a very different point of view Where you will now only walk with others who took that same leap of faith To a life of abundance, happiness, and where no others on you can dictate This journey to find your inner self is not easy, it was never meant to be But the knowledge it will bestow on you, is very clear to see As to walk your life in freedom, and to be rid of all your karmic debts Where you will never once look back, or have any past regrets Fearing not your enemies, as from them you will always be above Now only walk with the gods that shower you with their protection and their love Cursed are all those who failed you, or failed of you to understand Who regret their own lack of loyalty to you, and now find themselves damned Your suffering was never in vain; this is after all just a part of God’s own plan Say your last good-byes to your past; as you enter into your own, Promised Land
