Promised Land
On this day I was homeward bound,
Trying to make it back safe and sound,
Can't wait till my feet touch that ground.
On this day I was homeward bound.
Can't wait to be back with my friends,
Can't wait till this trip comes to an end,
Can't wait to enjoy the weekend.
Can't wait to be back with my friends.

Good to see you, how's life been,
Let's reminisce, let's begin.
C'mon let me shake your hand,
Oh-Oh, back in the Promised Land.

It feels so good to be back in town,
With my friends and family all aroun',
I knew this place wouldn't let me down,
It feels so good to be back in town.
Oh, I can't wait to start,
Membrin' my life, well, the biggest part,
What made me this "work of art"?
Oh, I can't wait to start.

Good to see you, how's life been,
Let's reminisce, let's begin,
Lemme see your poker hand,
Oh-oh, back in the Promised Land.

Haven't seen all of you in so long,
You've been close to me all along,
I am back where I belong,
Haven't seen all of you in so long.
It's great to be back where I'm from,
Remembering troubles, I've had some,
Conquering them was such fun,
It's great to be back where I'm from.

Good to see you, how's life been,
Let's reminisce, let's begin,
C'mon let me shake your hand,
Oh-oh, back in the Promised Land.

Oh, there's nowhere quite like this place,
Turn the corner, see a familiar face,
So many things, trying to keep pace,
There's nowhere quite like this place.
Back with the people I really know,
Oh how I have missed them so,
Knowing again, I will have to go,
But back with the people I really know.

Good to see you, how's life been,
Let's reminisce, let's begin,
Let's take a walk hand in hand,
Oh-oh back in the Promised Land.
Great to see you, how's things been,
Let's reminisce, let's begin,
C'mon let me shake your hand,
Let me see your poker hand,
C'mon let me shake your hand,
Let's take a walk hand in hand,
Oh-oh ain't life grand,
Oh-oh-oh back in the Promised Land,
Back in the Promised Land,
Back   in    the   Promised   Land.


This is my second attempt at a song and I am quite pleased with it. I didn't have to struggle with it, it flowed really well, and gets its point across too. Much better than my first attempt and it also has to do with the four peers of mine that I think have had the biggest affect on my life in high school. Don't feel upset if you aren't one of them, all of my friends and family have had a big effect on my life. Each chorus talks about the four people, Aaron, Erin, Nick, and Rosemary.
