The Land Of Plenty Lyrics - Ten New Songs - Leonard Cohen

Don't really know who sent me 

To raise my voice and say 

May the lights in The Land of Plenty 

Shine on the truth some day. 

I don't know why I come here, 

Knowing as I do, 

What you really think of me, 

What I really think of you. 

For the millions in a prison, 

That wealth has set apart 

For the Christ who has not risen, 

From the caverns of the heart 

For the innermost decision, 

That we cannot but obey 

For what's left of our religion, 

I lift my voice and pray 

May the lights in The Land of Plenty 

Shine on the truth some day. 

I know I said I'd meet you, 

I'd meet you at the store, 

But I can't buy it, baby. 

I can't buy it anymore. 

And I don't really know who sent me, 

To raise my voice and say 

May the lights in The Land of Plenty 

Shine on the truth some day. 

I don't know why I come here, 

Knowing as I do, 

What you really think of me, 

What I really think of you. 

For the innermost decision 

That we cannot but obey 

For what's left of our religion 

I lift my voice and pray 

May the lights in The Land of Plenty 

Shine on the truth some day.
