promised land(Arnold Melleby, 01.18.2025)

here I am

open wide

here I am

tryin` to see

through the darkness

through the pain

away from your paranoia

and to your promised land


wherever it may be

I want you to take me there

my soul belongs in a place

where my heart beats 

effortlessly 

to the sound of the waves

of an ocean

we may have crossed


so tell me

please tell me

where are we going 

to go

I do not know

as of yet


away from the plastic

wrapped around 

our bare neccesities 

is it really neccesary 

to live in a world

slowly

strangling itself


slowly but surely

wherever it may be

I want you to take me there

my soul belongs in a place

where my heart beats 

effortlessly 

to the sound of the waves

of an ocean

we may have crossed


slowly but surely

wherever it may be

I want you to take me there

my soul belongs in a place

where my heart beats 

effortlessly 

to the sound of the waves

of an ocean

we may have crossed
