Lyrics The Milk Carton Kids

The Milk Carton Kids

Promised Land

Every now and then

i'm gonna make you cry

you won't remember when

i won't remember why

every peace I find

seems to rise to say

live for every light

live for every day

I raise my hand, i raise my hand

I raise my hand, i raise my hand

I raise my hand to the promised land

Little girl you're all we've got for now

you've gotta find a way to save us now

it's turning dark and soon the chill will come

if you find it in your heart would you find me some?

I raise my hand, i raise my hand

I raise my hand, i raise my hand

I raise my hand to the promised land

I'll say goodbye and say farewell, it seems

my work is done–no more chasing dreams

if you left, leave my heart to spare

we could part but i'd still find you there

I raise my hand, i raise my hand

I raise my hand, i raise my hand

I raise my hand to the promised land
