Rosanne Cash
Crawl into the Promised Land
[Verse 1]
Now let's say the sinner's mass
And speak the words out loud
Now we hold our sister's hand
But not when guns and spirits prowl
Only in our dreams we had
Faith in bigger lives and plans
We put away those broken vows
To crawl into the promised land
[Chorus]
And don't it feel like home?
Don't it feel like we belong?
You gotta lift your head and raise your hand
And crawl into the promised land
[Verse 2]
Fifty years away from here, sixty if I run
Deliver me from tweets and lies
And purify me in the sun
The old man surely must have known
To kick the lights and make his stand
Would give us strength back from thе brink
To crawl into the promised land
[Chorus]
And don't it feel like homе?
Don't it feel like we belong?
You gotta lift your head and raise your hand
And crawl into the promised land
[Bridge]
The night is long but no one sleeps
The grifters make us pay
And torches burn and mothers weep
Deliver us from judgment day
[Chorus]
And don't it feel like home?
Don't it feel like we belong?
You gotta lift your head and raise your hand
And crawl into the promised land
Don't it feel like home?
Don't it feel like we belong?
You gotta lift your head and raise your hand
And crawl into the promised land
