The Hollies

Promised Land

(Hicks/Lynch)

Track 6 on album 'Distant Light' june 1971



Where where is the promised land

Where where is the promised land

It can't be found in Viet Nam

It can't be where the eagle has landed

If we want peace for every man

We've gotta make the world demand it



Now I see the flag is flying

We've got to help them stop the dying

We must bring back the soldier boys

We mustn't let them die for nothing

War's a better game when played with toys

Let's change the game and let's start loving



Soldiers never fight alone

There's just as much fighting going on at home

Protests, violence, marches

It's all going on at home

Bring them all back home (repeat)
