[ Featuring the Lead Singer ]
What I've become
Five years old, the world in front of me
Nothing to stand in my way
At nine they woke me from my fantasies
Had to fight my way thru the days
Ran along the winding road
Filled with pain I carried my load
But every mountain I climbed and new dreams I found
Took me back to solid ground
Oh dad, come take my hand, I'm gonna show you where I stand
It's my promised land
Yeah mum, I told them you would come but you know how children are
They'll get in before it's dark
At fifteen I'd seen about everything
I played a part where they broke my heart in every way
Ran along the winding road
Filled with pain I carried my load
But every mountain I climbed and new dreams I found
Took me back to solid ground
Oh dad, come take my hand, I'm gonna show you where I stand
It's my promised land
Yeah mum, I told them you would come but you know how children are
They'll get in before it's dark
And dad, don't you feel bad, you had much to do back then
I promise that we're friends
And mum, look what I've become, I showed them everyone
Just like you said I would, you said I would
Oh dad, come take my hand, I'm gonna show you where I stand
It's my promised land
Yeah mum, I told them you would come but you know how children are
They'll get in before it's dark
