Didnt anyone ever tell you
Didnt anyone ever say
Did you capture a vision of glory
As she held out her hand today
Its reaching to the broken heart
Right down to where you stand
Didnt anyone ever tell you
This is your land
Didnt anyone ever tell you
It doesnt matter the last will be first
For the sad and the meek and the righteous
And all those who will hunger and thirst
So let the poor in spirit know
These dreams are not of sand
Didnt anyone ever tell you
This is your land
Youll be given the robes of princes
Youll be flying on golden wings
You will live in pavilions of splendor
Be surrounded by beautiful things
So hold on to these promises
And keep them in your hand
