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
