Chorus (Repeat after every verse emotionally builds): Will I ever reach my promise land? Your beauty is enticing my mind. Will I ever reach my promise land? Loving your flesh and it becoming mine. Will I ever reach my promise land? Please dont hurt me with another lie? Will I ever reach my promise land? Lord have Mercy on me this time! Verse 1 (16 Bars): (Singer 1 - Bars 1-4): This road is long, the sun is burning hot. Escaped a love where I was losing a lot. The journey's mine, this is a lonely, painful spot. The promise land is my one and only shot. (Singer 2 - Bars 5-8): The sea crashed down on what held me in chains. I watched it fall, washing away my pains. My enemies lost, nothing for them remains. I found my freedom out here in the rain. (Singer 3 - Bars 9-12): Depression hit, a heavy, endless night. I lost my way, I can always see the light. And I saw you, standing there so bright. You increase my hope, you gave me back my fight. (Singer 4 - Bars 13-16): This vision's clear, a future I can see. A promised land you're building next to me. Through every trial, this love will be the key. To finally reach where we were meant to be. (CHORUS) Verse 2 (16 Bars): (Unchanged from previous) (Singer 1 - Bars 1-4): Forty years spent walking in a haze. Same circles drawn in these deserted days. No end in sight, just a confusing maze. A test of will in a relentless daze. (Singer 2 - Bars 5-8): The dating scene, a swiping left and right. No real connection, just a fleeting light. Always at work, burning the midnight. Can't find the time to make a love ignite. (Singer 3 - Bars 9-12): But heaven sent its bread to keep me strong. A taste of grace to tell me I belong. This manna feeds me when the road is long. It gives me faith to keep on moving on. (Singer 4 - Bars 13-16): The courage came, a voice said "be a man." "Stand up and face the river, make your stand." I see the water, part it if you can. This is my moment, this is the plan. (CHORUS) Verse 3 (16 Bars): (Singer 1 - Bars 1-4): Some settle early for the easier shore. Their journey's over, they don't want no more. It's close enough, but not what they fought for. A compromised peace, a silent, settled war. (Singer 2 - Bars 5-8): It's convenient, it takes a weaker faith. To choose the simple, to escape the ache. It's not the promise, it's a big mistake. It's not the love I'm willing now to take. (Singer 3 - Bars 9-12): But now the Jordan, it begins to part. The walls of water, beating like a heart. This is the moment, this is the start. This is an emotional peace of art. (Singer 4 - Bars 13-16): I think I found her, could she be the one? This feels like destiny, just now begun. The journey's ending, or has it just begun? I'll take this step towards the rising sun. (FINAL CHORUS)
