Sheryl Crow
Promised Land (Collab OG)
[Verse 1: TobyMac]
Head down as I punch this clock
The hours roll, they never stop
And I can't ever seem to get ahead
Always tryin' to do what's right
Straight and narrow's gettin' tight
Don't know how much longer I can stand
[Chorus: TobyMac]
And I'm wonderin'
Yeah, I'm wonderin'
Where's my promised land?
[Verse 2: TobyMac & Sheryl Crow]
Out here on this desert road
It's hot as fire but I've grown cold
Circlin' like a plane that never lands
And even though the questions change
The answers always stay the same
Maybe someday I will understand
[Chorus: TobyMac & Sheryl Crow]
So I'm wonderin'
Got me wonderin'
Whеre's my promised land?
Yeah, I'm wondеrin'
Still I'm wonderin'
Where's my promised land?
[Bridge: Sheryl Crow]
Well, I've run this Earth for many years
If there's one thing I know
There's nowhere on this side o' Heaven
Where streets are made of gold
I've long laid down my grand illusions
Lookin' toward the day that I'll be home
[Verse 3: TobyMac & Sheryl Crow]
I won't give up on this race
Broken but I still have faith
That this old life is all part of a plan
And I can feel it in my soul
One day, I'll stand before the throne
With nothin' left but hope in these two hands
[Chorus: TobyMac & Sheryl Crow]
Through all these seasons
I'm still believin'
You're my promised land
In all my grievin'
I'm still believin'
You're my promised land
[Outro: Sheryl Crow, TobyMac, TobyMac & Sheryl Crow, Gabriel Patillo, Tasha Smith, Jon Reddick, Andrew Thompson, Emoni Wilkins & Micah Kuiper]
You're my promised land (You're my promised land)
Ooh ooh ooh-ooh, (Oh oh-oh) ooh ooh ooh-ooh
My promised land (You're my promised land)
Ooh ooh ooh-ooh, (Oh oh-oh) ooh ooh ooh-ooh (Ah ah)
You're my promised land
Ooh ooh ooh-ooh, ooh ooh ooh-ooh
Oh oh-oh, oh oh-oh
Ooh ooh-ooh
You're my promised land
