Simple Minds - 20Th Century Promised Land lyrics
Stories came like the wind
 Joining every bridge in the wind
 Ringing out footsteps
 Calling out steel-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 comes 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 dis-hearted
 Nothing to prove
 And nothing to presentSimple Minds - 20Th Century Promised Land - http://motolyrics.com/simple-minds/20th-century-promised-land-lyrics.html
 I give voice
 I give breath
 Catching winds in my hand
 My hand
 Some times, great times
 Some 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 day
 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
