Ben Wagner - Promised Land Lyrics

She had travelled far
Armed with seven nations
Harmed in many places
Still had not found her promised land
And tall the walls of Jericho stand
With a lonely king in the middle
Instead of drawing her weapons
She played trumpets and fiddles

It’s time for these walls to come down
It’s time for these walls to come down
Let them crumble at the sound
Of you calling me baby

She played and played for seven days
And not a shot was fired
But this new music being played
Reached the lonely man in the tower
At first he tried to fight it
But he could not turn away
This sudden building new desire
To go reopen the gate

It’s time for these walls to come down
It’s time for these walls to come down, see
Let them crumble at the sound
Of you calling me baby

And there was milk in the coffee
Muffins warm with honey
and music with such beauty
On the day that she met me

Could it be
We found the promised land
Could it be
I could be your man
Could it be
We found the promised land
Could it be
I could be your man

It’s time for these walls to come down
It’s time for these walls to come down, see
Let them crumble at the sound
Of you calling me baby

It’s time for these walls to come down
It’s time for these walls to come down, see
Let them crumble at the sound
Of you calling me baby
