Promise Land Lyrics - Joan Armatrading

All this time I have followed the rules 

And I've lived the perfect life 

Alright 

By somebody else's standards 

All this time I did not feel too bad 

But I was not what you call happy 

Not really 

I was searching for something 

And all this time you were standing by 

And all this time you were waiting

Watch Janelle Monáe's Sci-Fi film 'Dirty Computer' 

All this time I've been living a lie 

And I even fooled myself completely 

Now I'm really ready 

Right or wrong 

I will follow your course 

And if you go down I'll drown 

So save me 

I'm not as strong as I look yea 

All this time I've been saying 

No 

But all this time 

I've been meaning 

Photos 

Yes I'm ready to take your hand 

Follow you into the promise land 

Ooh yeah, let's talk about it 

I'm a fool for you 

Ducking and diving 

'Cos I'm a fool for you 

All this time I've been saying 

No 

But all this time 

I've been meaning 

Yes I'm ready to take your hand 

Follow you into the promise land
