Justin Hayward - The promised land lyrics

They came from nowhere, with nowhere else to go

They came with nothing but pockets full of dreams

They came in hope, looking for the promised land

They brought their faith, believing in their hearts

They brought their children, searching for a new start

They came looking for the promised land

And all the rumours said it was heaven there

And all the signs were pointing to a new world

Someway, somehow there's got to be

A place for us

Somewhere, there's got to be

A better way, a new beginning, a second chance

It's all in the new world

Equality, liberty

Freedom

It's all in the new world

A better life, a brighter future, the right to believe

It's all in the new world

For you and me, it's got to be

Freedom

It's all in the new world

Through the ages, all through history

They braved the deserts, sailed the raging sea

And left their homes, looking for the promised land

They brought their culture, pride and prejudice

All they wanted was a reason to exist

And still they come, looking for the promised land

And all the rumours said it was heaven there

All the signs were pointing to a new world

Someway, somehow there's got to be

A place for us

Somewhere, there's got to be

A better way, a new beginning, a second chance

It's all in the new world

Equality, liberty

Freedom

It's all in the new world

A better life, a brighter future, the right to believe

It's all in the new world

For you and me, it's got to be

Freedom

It's all in the new world

And all the rumours said it was heaven there

All the signs were pointing to a new world

Someway, somehow there's got to be

A place for us

There's got to be

A better way....
