I’ve packed up all my bags
And I’ve drawn up three new flags
And I’m taking you all with me
To the promised land
The streets ain’t cold or dry
They all glisten in the night
And all roads lead back to Rome
To the promised land
Take me home, take me home
To the home you’ve never known
The picture that I’ve painted ain’t too clear
Take me home, take me home
Don’t leave me on my own
The promised land it ain’t too far from here
It’s a place I've been before
No strangers on the shore
The tides are high and gleaming
In the promised land
The girls all know your name
And the boys don’t dress the same
They’re all waiting at communion
In the promised land
The taxi cabs all stand
They all wait on your command
And they know just where to go
To the promised land
If you set your mind at ease
And you listen to my pleas
I will ferry you downstream
To the promised land
You’ll enjoy many a view
From a red hill afternoon
And all boats they sail forever
In the promised land
A golden coin’s the price
For friendship’s silver vice
And you’ll stay with me forever
In the promised land
