20th Century Promised Land Lyrics - Singles - Simple Minds

Stories came like the wind 

Joining every bridge in the wind 

Ringing out footsteps 

Calling out stell-heels 

I give voice 

I give breath 

Count out evenings and stars 

How fast can these things move on 

Taking roots back to yourself 

And the reason for fear was moving on 

And on 

Some time 

Great times 

Troubled time 

Fire for the times 

Ringing out footsteps 

Calling out steel-heels

Promised land 

Great times in commotion 

Here come every day 

It only lasts an hour 

Unhappy the land that has no heroes 

No! Unhappy the land that needs heroes 

And the reason for fear was moving on 

The speed of light was moving on 

Don't cry 

Tears are only wasted waters 

Some say God her only loves the proud 

Be damned on luck 

But not dishearted 

Nothing to prove 

And nothing to present 

I give voice 

Photos 

I give breath 

Catching winds in my hand 

My hand 

Some times 

Great times 

Catching wind in my hand 

My hand 

Some times 

Great times 

Troubled times 

Fire for the times 

Ringing out footsteps 

Calling out steel-heels 

Promised land 

Great times in commotion 

Here comes every dat 

It only lasts an hour 

Unhappy the land that has no heroes 

No! Unhappy the land that needs heroes 

I'll call you out 

I'll scream you out 

And I don't care if you're afraid 

When city sounds invade the air 

Catch the wind in their hands 

Promised land 

Catch the wind in their hands 

Promised lands 

Promised lands 

Promised lands 

Great times in commotion
