Joan Armatrading - Promise Land Lyrics

All this time I have followed the rules
And I've lived the perfect life, alright
By somebody else's standards
All this time I did not feel too bad
But I was not what you call happy, not really
I was searching for something

And all this time you were standing by
And all this time you were waiting

All this time I've been living a lie
And I even fooled myself completely
Now I'm really ready
Right or wrong, I will follow your course
And if you go down I'll drown so save me

I'm not as strong as I look, yeah
All this time I've been saying no
But all this time, I've been meaning

Yes, I'm ready to take your hand
Follow you into the promise land
Ooh, yeah, let's talk about it

I'm a fool for you, ducking and diving
'Cause I'm a fool for you
All this time I've been saying no
But all this time I've been meaning

Yes, I'm ready to take your hand
Follow you into the promise land
Yes, I'm ready to take your hand
Follow you into the promise land

Yes, I'm ready to take your hand
Follow you into the promise land
Yes, I'm ready to take your hand
Follow you into the promise land

Yes, I'm ready to take your hand
Follow you into the promise land
Yes, I'm ready to take your hand
Follow you into the promise land
