It's sixteen miles 
To the promised land 
And I promise you, I'm doing the best I can 

Now don't fool yourself 
Into thinking you're more than a man 
Because you'll probably end up dead 

I visit these 
Mountains with frequency 
And I stand here with my arms out 

Now some days, they 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 better move fast 

Don't fool yourself 
Into thinking you're more than you are 
With your arms outstretched to me 

Now it's sixteen miles 
To the promised land 
And I promise you, I'm doing the best I can 

Now some days, they last longer than others 
But this day by the lake went to fast 
And if you want me
You better speak up, I won't wait 
So you better move fast 

And some days, they last longer than others 
But this day by the lake went to fast 
And if you want me
You better speak up, I won't wait 
So you better move fast
