Joan Armatrading - Promise Land lyrics

All this time I have followed the rules

And I've lived the perfect life

Alright

By somebody else's standards

All this time I did not feel too bad

But I was not what you call happy

Not really

I was searching for something

And all this time you were standing by

And all this time you were waiting

All this time I've been living a lie

And I even fooled myself completely

Now I'm really ready

Right or wrong

I will follow your course

And if you go down I'll drown

So save me

I'm not as strong as I look yea

All this time I've been saying

No

But all this time

I've been meaning

Yes I'm ready to take your hand

Follow you into the promise land

Ooh yea let's talk about it

I'm a fool for you

Ducking and diving

'Cos I'm a fool for you

All this time I've been saying

No

But all this time

I've been meaning

Yes I'm ready to take your hand

Follow you into the promise land
