'Bout time I find my way into the river
That runs to the promised land.
Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river
That runs to the promised land.
And it can only be seen through the eyes of a lion.
That it can only be seen by the eyes of the blind.
At times I find I wade into the river that runs into the Promised Land
Baptized by fire, I wade to the river that runs into the Promised Land
At times I find my way into the river that is runnin' to the Promised Land.
Baptized by fire, I wade into the river that runs into the Promised Land.
Baptized by a fart, I wade into the river that runs to the promised land
Baptized by the fire, I wade into the river that runs to the promised land
Best times by far I'm waiting
To the river that is running through the Promised Land.
Baptized by the fire I'm wading
Through the river that is running to the Promised Land.
Best times by far
I'm waiting to the river
That is running to the Promised Land
Baptized by the fire
I wade into the river
That runs to the Promised Land
I go walking in my sleep
Through the desert of Jews
To the river so deep
I go walking in my sleep
Through the desert of truth
To the river so deep
In the middle of the night
I go walking in the street.
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep.
Someone said that I lost.
Something sacred I lost.
Something 'bout a store
Something somebody stole
To a river soft beat
Through a river so deep
We don't live in the ocean
We don't starve in the streets
We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
But now I find my way into the river that runs to the Promised Land.
Baptized by fire, I wade into the river that runs into the Promised Land.
I must be looking for something, something secret I lost
But the river is wild and it's too hard to cross
I must be looking for something, something sacred I lost
But the river is wide and it's too hard to cross
I'm not sure about a lot after this,
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
I'm not sure about a life after this,
God knows I've never been a spiritual man
I've been searching and searching
I've been searching for something
In the middle of July
In the middle of the night
In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of fame to the river so deep
(Later)
I know I'm searching for something
Something someone can't find that it can only be seen by the eyes of the blonde
OR
Something so hard to find that it can only be seen by the eyes of the blonde
In the middle of the night I go walking in my sleep
From the mountains of faith to the river so deep
(Later)
I know I'm searching for something
Something so undefined that it can only be seen by the eyes of the blind
In the middle of the night
I go walking in the sea
or
In the middle of the night
I go walking in the street
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
In the middle of the nine
I go walking in my sneakers
In the middle of the night
I go walking in my sleep
Lah-mee-oh
Glo-ri-a
The part of the song "Gloria" by The Cadillacs, was mentioned at the very end of this song.
Something I'd never use
Something I'd never lose
That could only be obscene
That can only be seen
Through the mountains of fate
Through the mountains of faith
We all live in erosion
We all live in the ocean
We're all into the ocean
We all live in the ocean
