Willie Nelson - Living In The Promiseland Lyrics






Give us your tired and weak
And we will make them strong
Bring us your foreign songs
And we will sing along

Leave us your broken dreams
We'll give them time to mend
There's still a lot of love
Living in the Promiseland

Living in the Promiseland
Our dreams are made of steel
The prayer of every man
Is to know how freedom feels

There is a winding road
Across the shifting sand
And room for everyone
Living in the Promiseland

So they came from a distant isle
Nameless woman
Faithless child like a bad dream
Until there was no room at all
No place to run, and no place to fall

Give us our daily bread
We have no shoes to wear
No place to call our home
Only this cross to bear

We are the multitudes
Lend us a helping hand
Is there no love anymore
Living in the Promiseland

Living in the Promiseland
Our dreams are made of steel
The prayer of every man
Is to know how freedom feels

There is a winding road
Across the shifting sand
And room for everyone
Living in the Promiseland

    Your Pres. Trump has no compassion.
    USA has lost her way and is no more respected internationally
    USA should be a leader.
    But no more.
    .

  8. p.... ....

    I fear we do not remember that they came and waited to be legalized. They were quarantined until they were given clearance. It's how you enter any other country also.

    p.... ....

    Truth! ❤️

    p.... ....

    Yea it isn't illegal to come to the US and then file for refugee status no matter what some idiots want you to think.

  9. J.... P....

    Good thing Trump wasn’t president, we would probably have lost the war also.

  10. 1.... ....

  23. G.... M....

    One would think there would be one person the f'n IRS wouldn't F with! Willie would be my first vote

  24. M.... ....

    Thank you Willie!! You are an important part of the reminder of this promised land we call America the Beautiful. It's time that more people open their hearts to those of us that are less fortunate and show them/us what this country is made of. LOVE ALWAYS WINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  25. r.... ....

    32 years old and still contemporary

  26. A.... M....

    Room for everyone, yes. And if you want the best for them, Remember to pay your taxes. Seriously, that's not something you want to space out...

    A.... M....

    Yes hopefully Trump can pay for all the years he didn't. He owes America lots of money.

  27. T.... M....

    Great singing Willie, coming from your heart, wonderful breath control and commitment!

  28. B.... s....

    Baird Family proud Thanks you Willie

  29. a.... ....

    haha, willie’s a socialist, who would have ever thought?

    a.... ....

    It’s that weed

    a.... ....

    More or less people don't know (or care) about his past, they just care that he's been campaigning with Beto O'Rourke. I mean, he's been running Far Aid (to raise money and awareness for family and farms) since the 80s, he's always been an advocate of legalizing marijuana and at some point a little over a decade ago he was at the Democratic National Convention.



    What really irks me is people disliking other celebrities over something they said, even if it's just a one time thing. Like look at Roger Waters, he boycotts Israel but if you look past boring ass politics he was part of a legendary band. Look at movie stars, blah blah blah they like or dislike Trump but maybe that same movie star is one of the top paid and most known.

    a.... ....

    He isn't a socialist dumbass. He is a democrat and if you didn't know that then you weren't paying attention. Same with Johnny.

  30. B.... T....

    Thanks man!

  31. I.... M....

    Stronnggg

  32. B.... P....

    My mother was a Holocaust survivor. I take all of this very personal. God and History will never forgive the haters who threw on with traitor Trump. You ride with an outlaw you die with them.
    Love ya Willie. Always will.

    B.... P....

    What does that have to do with Trump?

    B.... P....

    @Nick R If your asking what it has to do with with Trump than you are the answer to your own question. Get a fucking clue.

    B.... P....

    @Balance Point 71 He must be living under a rock

  33. M.... S....

    It is never too late for truth and love. And may we forgive those who do not know what they are doing. Thank you Willie for your voice and your message❤️!

    M.... S....

    I think some people have chosen to, agree to disagree and that's alright for me🎤🎼🎹🎶

  34. G.... D....

    🤗🦅🗽

  35. M.... ....

    Indeed, Willie, sing this as loud as you can near white house!

  36. C.... s....

    Dank je wel voor deze prachtige muziek. ❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻

  40. L.... B....

    There is a limit on those who come here not because of what we as a country offer, but as a means to kill & destroy that which made us great. That time of promised land is sadly over because of traitors and corruption from which is biblical proportioned to create the end of These United States of America. All Lives Matter..

    Love you and your message! Growing up listening to you on my parents car on 8 tracks was so amazing! Meeting you at your truck stop and shaking your velvet hands meant so much! My mom remarried when I was 4 and growing up through the craziness was not fun, but your voice will always take me back to your soothing voice that would calm my soul!
    I cared for my stepfather til he passed in 2016, your and his birthday are one day to the year part!
    Thank you so much!

    So many people in this country have forgotten about what this country is all about

    j.... b....

    Especially the Cheeto in Office...

    j.... b....

    @OropherThranduil was about to mention that person

    j.... b....

    The president is not against people coming into this country, with so many "evil doers" he's just ensuring the people already here are Kept safe! Every one must come legally just like in the video.

    j.... b....

    @Stephen Walsh Its hard to come legally so people come illegally

    Willie, I love you more than words can express. I love you as a musician and as a human. I thank you for being the wonderful person you are. My Daddy sang Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain every night of my childhood. You and your music are an intricately woven thread, throughout my entire life. My Daddy died in September, and my biggest regret, is never seeing you live with him. For all the days of my life, I'll carry you both with me. Thank you for using your voice for good. Thank you for standing up for what's right. Thank you for your music. Thank you for being you. I hope you have many more happy years with us, and that in that time, love and goodness prosper, and hate disappears. I just wish I could hear my Daddy sing your music to me, one more time.

    S.... ....

    SensualEnigmaJulez, I feel the same way as you do!! I lost my Daddy in 2015 five days before his 88th birthday. We both loved Willie’s music from the start of his career up to present. If I ever get a chance to get to Texas again I want to find Willie and give him the biggest hug for who he is as a human, a beautiful musician and being one of the Highway Men, connecting family with such GOD’s blessed men.

    S.... ....

    @Tammie L I would love to hug Willie one day. I went to his concert in Berkeley, and my heart nearly exploded. I hope to see him again here in California.

  61. K.... A....

    Thanks for sharing this today. A much needed lift. Hope is a wondrous thing to offer.

  62. c.... ....

    Ahhhhhh I wanna go down to ‘Bama to see you again Willie but I just got back from there Monday 😪. Hopefully if you come back to Cape I’ll get to see you again 💛💛.

  63. H.... I....

    Beautiful!

  64. N.... ....

    Good song
