Promised Land Lyrics

I'm out in my walking shoes
I'm walking to my promised land
Been talking and talked to
The devil he's at my right hand
And Jesus too
Waiting to help and

Waiting for my answers
Waiting for my prayer to find me there
Promised land

I'm walking through every shire
I pray that I will be received
The hate that she inspires
Has to be seen to be believed
And yet so scared
Witless and wondering

Every man is frightened
Praying for enlightened days ahead
Promised land

Walk on freedom shore
Won't see me again
See me no more
Gone to my promised land

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
