You Promised Me

You promised me a bountiful land
 Rich and beautiful to my eye
 Everywhere there's destruction
 Please tell me why
 (Teach us Almighty God, to be patient)
 You said there was no place on earth
 That could not be touched by your light
 Let's shine where a little there is darkness
 Please tell me why
 (Open our minds and open our eyes so that we may see)
 Somewhere up there, somewhere near peace doesn't exist
 I feel it deep in my soul
 That is why I wonder how this world can be
 Be so cold (be so cold)
 I wonder how this world can be so, so cold
 A child is lying dead on the ground man
 I take a hand and I call You
 Stop the destruction, please help us to carry on I'm laid upon
 We worship you and we praise your name, Lord
 I lift my hands up to call you
 You promised me that we'll have heaven on earth
 I pray, I pray
 Somewhere up there, somewhere near peace doesn't exist
 I feel it deep in my soul
 That is why I wonder how this world can be
 Be so cold, so cold
 (Keepers on the street and now pass)
 Yes, you promised me Lord
 Oh, you promised me Lord
 Yes, you promised me Lord, peace on earth
 Yes, You promised me Lord
 Oh, You promised me Lord
 Yes, You promised me peace on earth
 Oh-oh (yes, You promised me Lord)
 You promised me Lord (oh, You promised-)
 Oh, you promised me (yes, You promised me), peace here on earth
 Oh Lord!
