O
It's a hard knock life I know
Trying to maintain, trying to grow
Where you're pressed on every side

Trying hard to show your skills
In the chaos, standing still
Knowing who you are inside

Time's a circle, never straight
Life's a journey, not a place
These are truths I hold so dear

This life I have down here's not mine
I'm in service of the divine
Of no man shall I have fear

Take me to the promised land
Let me bathe on golden sands
Where the milk and honey flow

Won't you come and take my hand
Women, girl and boy and man
Where the milk and honey flow

I got this one here from my folks
who went before, who knew the ropes
It's the thing that saw them through

I call it my personal song
keeps me focused, keeps me calm
Its the gift I give to you (And you)

For there's a land where no one dies
Where there is Joy, and no one cries
It's the place I plan to go

You can come too if you desire
This ticket here will take you higher
Than mankind has even known

Take me to the promised land
Let me bathe on golden sands
Where the milk and honey flow

Won't you come and take my hand
Women, girl and boy and man
Where the milk and honey flow

Take me to the promised land
Let me bathe on golden sands
Where the milk and honey flow

Won't you come and take my hand
Women, girl and boy and man
Where the milk and honey flow
Flow
