Promised Land from Promised Land by Elaine Meyer

Son of God is standing alone
feeling like his future is cast in stone
never has he reaped what he has sown
Son of God is all alone

nowhere in this land where the water is easy to find
nowhere in this land where the sun doesn't shine
nowhere in this land where the living is easy
nowhere in this land is going to please me

and all around there's a slowly sinking sound
nowhere in this land where the sun doesn't shine

moses, lead me
where my fathers' fathers began
this cannot be
promised land

blessed are the hands waiting patiently to greet me
blessed are the sands shifting under my feet
blessed are the meek for they shall inherit
blessed am I if I find I can bear it

and overhead there's an angel of the dead
blessed are the sands shifting under my feet

Son of God lay upon a hill
call for him to come and you know he will
never more to die--no more we kill
Son of God is living still

someday i will see why the people want to stone me
someday i will see why i'm standing alone
someday i will see why this path has been chosen
someday i will see my future unfrozen

and deep inside I know there's no place to hide
someday I will see why i'm standing alone
