Through deserts of pain, through oceans of rain set out to break the seal
Some wounds never heal and hearts turn to steel,
These scars you can't conceal T
Through rivers of tears and nights full of tears, do dream and make it real
The fire will burn, the soul it will yearn
No weakness be revealed

And now you are here to take all command
To make it all rhyme
Did you learn to fight did you learn to stand
The test of time

And it's a mighty long way to the promised land
A stony long way from here
And I've seen many good man sink into the sand
Blinded by pride and fear

The ways you did know, all failed in a row
High time for something new
The phrases you've learned,
Face tides which have turned
The wind blows colder for you

And it's a mighty long way to the promised land
A stony long way from here
And I've seen many good man sink into the sand
Blinded by pride and fear

You were so sure to have read the signs now
You pray to reach the shore
So don't say a word I can read your mind
I've seen it all before
