It's sixteen miles to the promised land And i promise you i'm doing the best i can Don't fool yourself in thinking you're more than a man 'Cause you'll probably end up dead I visit these mountains with frequency and i stand here with my arms up Some days last longer than others But this day by the lake went too fast And if you want me you better speak up I won't wait So you'd better move fast Don't fool yourself in thinking you're more than you are With your arms outstretched to me
