Promised Land
Life could've been differentYou think I don't knowCould've been born in ParisOr in the Wisconsin snowBut I'm from this desertAnd here I will standAnd I will meet you in the promised landYou know I went to collegeTo be an engineerI thought I'd do something usefulWhat good is that hereWhen your jet fighters bombAny buildings that standI will meet you in the promised landThe life of the fighterI didn't chooseBut I love my peopleAnd I can follow your cuesIf destroying our worldIs your leader's commandThen I will meet you in the promised landMy name is MohamedBut I don't know if it's trueLetras de cancionesIf we go anyplace betterWhen our life here is throughBut you have butchered my familyYou must understandAnd I will meet you in the promised landI know it's not prettyBut for all that you've doneFor all the widows and orphansFor all the wars that you've wonI must teach you a lessonMaybe you'll understandI will meet you in the promised landSo I will get in this planeAnd when it's in the airTo your symbols of powerAnd our source of despairI'll look out through the cockpitI will steady my handAnd I will meet you in the promised land,I will meet you in the promised land From Letras Mania
