20th Century Promised Land Lyrics

Stories came like the wind Joining every bridge in the wind Ringing out footsteps Calling out steel-heels
I give voice I give breath
Count out evenings and stars How fast can these things move on Taking roots back to yourself And the reason for fear was moving on And on
Some time, great times Troubled time Fire for the times Ringing out footsteps Calling out steel-heels
Promised land Great times in commotion Here comes every day It only lasts an hour Unhappy the land that has no heroes No, unhappy the land that needs heroes
And the reason for fear was moving on The speed of light was moving on Don't cry, tears are only wasted waters Some say God her only loves the proud
Be damned on luck But not dis-hearted Nothing to prove And nothing to present [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/20th-century-promised-land-lyrics-simple-minds.html ]
I give voice I give breath Catching winds in my hand My hand
Some times, great times Some times Catching wind in my hand My hand
Some times, great times Troubled times Fire for the times Ringing out footsteps Calling out steel-heels
Promised land Great times in commotion Here comes every day It only lasts an hour Unhappy the land that has no heroes No, unhappy the land that needs heroes
I'll call you out I'll scream you out And I don't care if you're afraid When city sounds invade the air
Catch the wind in their hands Promised land Catch the wind in their hands Promised lands Promised lands Promised lands
