Lyrics
On the edge of these stormy banks I stand And cast a wishful eye For I see a fair and happy land And that's where my heart does lie Where the orchards and fields that never fail And the olive and lemon trees grow Where the rocks and the streams, the brooks and the vales And the milk and the honey flow I'm bound for the promised land my friends I'm bound for the promised land Oh who will come and go with me? I'm bound for the promised land Oh this new world can let us down And its gifts are not always free But I dream of the sights, the scents and the sounds And turn my thoughts to the East I'm bound for the promised land my friends I'm bound for the promised land Oh who will come and go with me? I'm bound for the promised land In days when love seems only a jest And hope turns callously cold Will I remember I'm one of a holy quest And return to the stones of the old I'm bound for the promised land my friends I'm bound for the promised land Oh who will come and go with me? I'm bound for the promised land I'm bound for the promised land my friends I'm bound for the promised land Oh who will come and go with me? I'm bound for the promised land 'Cause I'm bound for the promised land
