  • Give us your tired and weak
    And we will make them strong
    Bring us your foreign songs
    And we will sing along
    Leave us your broken dreams
    We'll give them time to mend
    There's still a lot of love
    Living in the promiseland

    Living in the promiseland
    Our dreams are made of steel
    The prayer of every man
    Is to know how freedom feels
    There is a winding road
    'Cross the shifting sands
    And room for everyone
    Living in the promiseland

    So they came from a distant isle
    Aimless woman, faithless child
    Like a bad dream
    Until there was no room at all
    No place to run and no place to fall

    Give us your daily bread
    We have no shoes to wear
    No place to call our own
    Only this cross to bear
    We are the multitudes
    Lend us a helping hand
    Is there no love anymore?
    Living in the promiseland

    Living in the promiseland
    Our dreams are made of steel
    The prayer of every man
    Is to know how freedom feels
    There is a winding road
    'Cross the shifting sands
    And room for everyone
    Living in the promiseland

    And room for everyone
