Promised Land

from Out Of The Smoke by Keith Thompson Band

/

about

This is one of those songs that has evolved. An optimistic song about advancing as opposed to things getting worse! Musically this song keeps advancing. This is it in one of it's earlier forms. That is before the drum and bass solo's took over! Lyrics inspired by the Christian gospel message of hope as inspired by Martin Luther King. Mankind is just looking for a place where we can live at peace and feel at home. MLK called that the promised land.

lyrics

Promised land

I got a feeling no turning back
Like a big 8 wheeler coming down the track
Gotta keep moving don’t you understand
Till we reach that promised land

Moving faster cant slow down
Got my eyes fixed on that victors crown
And if my words you don’t approve
When the Lord is ready
You gotta move

Where we’re going there’ll be no more cryin’
Time is coming soon there’ll be no more lyin’
When we step right up to the heavenly throne
You’ll either feel at home or all alone

Well this world we’re just passin’ through
You know the way, the life it’s true
Just take hold of the master’s hand
He’ll lead you to the promised land
