Promised Land

歌詞

Life could've been different You think I don't know I could've been born in Paris Or in the Wisconsin snow But I'm from this desert And here I will stand And I will meet you in the promised land You know I went to college To be an engineer Thought I'd do something useful But what good is that here When your jet fighters bomb Any buildings that stand I will meet you in the promised land The life of the fighter I didn't choose But I love my people And I can follow your cues If destroying our world Is your leader's command Then I will meet you in the promised land My name is Mohamed But I don't know if it's true If we go anyplace better When our life here is through But you have butchered my family You must understand So I will meet you in the promised land I know it's not pretty But for all that you've done For all the widows and orphans And all the wars that you've won I must teach you a lesson Maybe you'll understand I will meet you in the promised land So I will get in this plane And when it's in the air To your symbols of power And our source of despair I'll look out through the cockpit And steady my hand And I will meet you in the promised land
