lyrics

Come on. Let’s go.
There’s a promised land to find
I’ll be your compass if you’ll be mine
There’s a land of milk and honey
over the hill where the grass is green
and the color of the sky is the color of your eyes
as you lead me over
I don’t know how to read this meadow
It feels safe but there’s something amiss
I’m a goat with the sheep, a chicken with the swans
a whale on the beach, a preacher in the ghetto

Oh, I’m looking for the secrets you don’t want me to know
Oh, the hand that feeds me is the hand that never lets me go

I can only think for myself these days
I don’t know how to navigate the maze of you
the sweet I do
the foolproof power of sticking to the plan
Give me wilderness or give me death
I don’t need a place to rest
I need the swarms
I need the hail
to beat my body, take away my breath

I’m running to a place that you will never know
Oh, the land that feeds me is the land that never lets me go

Don’t look for me
Don’t look for me
