Lyrics

PROMISED LAND
© Lyrics by Rizo Balic

VERSE [ONE]
HIDDEN IN THE BACK OF THE LORRY,
YOU'RE GOING TOWARDS PROMISED LAND,
TO START A NEW FRESH LIFE,
FARAWAY FROM YOUR HOMELAND,
HIDDEN IN THE BACK OF THE LORRY,
YOU'RE SO SCARED AS NEVER BEFORE.


VERSE [TWO]
EVERYTIME WHEN THE LORRY STOPS,
YOU THINK IT'S THE END OF THE JOURNEY,
YOUR HEART IS IN YOUR MOUTH,
HIDDEN IN THE BACK OF THE LORRY,
YOUR HOPES BEGINS AND ENDS,
FROM NOW ON YOU'RE IN GOD'S HANDS.


BRIDGE:
WHEN YOU REACH TO A PROMISED LAND,
YOU'RE GOING TO FIND OUT THE TRUTH,


CHORUS:
YOU WAS MISLEAD BY SO MANY LIES,
ABOUT A NICE AND EASY LIFE ABROAD,
AND BEFORE YOU COULD EVEN REACT,
YOU'LL HAVE TO FACE A HARSH REALITY,
YOU'RE ANOTHER INNOCENT VICTIM,
IN THE WEB OF PEOPLE'S TRAFFICKING.


VERSE [THREE]
AFTER YOU RACH TO A PROMISED LAND,
YOU'LL BE LEFT ALONE TO GET ON,
WITHOUT ANY MONEY OR THE JOB,
WHEN YOU'RE POOR AND SO DESPERATE,
AND HAVE A LARGE FAMILY TO SUPPORT,
YOU'RE TO EASY TARGET TO EXPLOIT.

VERSE [FOUR]
WHEN YOU'RE SO POOR AND NAÏVE,
YOU'RE EASY PREY TO THOSE PEOPLE,
ALWAYS LOOKING FOR NEW VICTIMS,
IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR A BETTER LIFE,
IF YOU'RE NOT CAREFUL YOU COULD BE,
EASILY DRAG IN THEIR PREPARED TRAPS.
