Plains of Promise

THE PLAINS OF PROMISE
W & m copyright Graham Seal January 2011

D                                            G                             D
We walked into Paradise at the break of day
D                       A                             Em7                           G   
Mystified by moonlight as we tried to make our way
D                                                                           G                               D
Though our hearts were willing and our bodies they were young
F#                           Em                         Bm                        A           Bm     D
On the Plains of Promise we were broken by the sun

We ploughed the fields of Paradise day after weary day
Burdened by belief there could be no other way
Our hearts failed with the harvest, our bodies parched with thirst
On the Plains of Promise we were buried by the earth

We walked out of Paradise at the dying of the day
Shattered by the starlight and crying on our way
Our hearts were dry and empty, our bodies old and worn
On the Plains of Promise we died - and we were born.
