Promised Land
A tranquil afterlife
Is there a paradise unseen?
Hand in hand
Take this fall together
Rise to live again the dream

Took pride in what we achieved
Built these walls stone by stone
Watched helplessly as the walls came tumbling down
They can tear away the outside
But they can't take what's within
In the river of hope our spirit will never drown

Scars to show for the battles survived
Stay strong whilst other minds get weak
Embrace a new beginning in this changing world
Build on cherished memories
Learn from the mistakes
The only way to keep on winning in this changing world

Celebrate the lives of those fallen
Carry memory with love in our hearts
From these ashes
Out of blue comes green
Find an inner strength to make a new start

Unholy men call for Holy War
Rebuild these walls in stone stronger than before

Scars to show for the battles survived
Stay strong whilst other minds get weak
Embrace a new beginning in this changing world
Build on cherished memories
Learn from the mistakes
The only way to keep on winning in this changing world

Grass is greener on the other side
There's light at the end of the tunnel
What was once a blazing fire is now a flame of hope

Sing out trust
Sing out faith
Sing out hope
In this changing world
Sing of love
Sing of peace
Sing of freedom
In this changing world
Gimme some truth
Gimme some respect
Gimme some justice
In this changing world
Wanna feel love
Wanna know peace
Wanna know freedom
In this changing world
