lyrics

Promised Land

If you’re afraid I will turn into a tree
A tree doesn’t cry doesn’t laugh doesn’t talk
Is calm and unafraid watches people walk
On common ground or foreign
Arm in arm or hand in hand
To the dark parts of the forest or the Promised Land

I understand
Words have no power over you
Doesn’t matter what you do
With luck or a little time

If you are tired
I will turn into a bed
Somewhere soft and cool to lay your lead

If you’re afraid I will turn into a bird
A bird can fly, can walk, can sing
Messages in code, secrets of the wing
Don’t paint yourself too brightly
Avoid the burning brand
Don’t take the nearest exit to the Promised Land

I understand
Words have no power over you
Doesn’t matter what you do
With luck and a little time
