The Promised Land

send
me down
to the place
where it flows
so fast
so slow

so green
so new
i can't
remain
so blue

it hurts
it's sad
why are they
mean
and bad

forget
i'm wrong
why do I
sing this
song

at first
i walked
my eyes
blind
and hot

but now
i'm sure
they'll hurt
me
no more

what's lost
is found
they found it
underground

i'm sure
i am
i'll find
the
promised land
