About this track
From the Musical "Exodus" by Andreas Herrmann Lyrics & Music by Andreas Herrmann Vocals: Allan Harris - AVoxx Golden Land, golden land Hold our names in your hands Golden Land, golden land We were made for this chance You came with dust on your shoes And a map that never fit You said this soil could sing If we stood still long enough I saw the wheat bend low Like a wave in summer heat Your hands were small and scarred Still they planted hope in me And the ground kept on calling Soft under our feet One more mile One more try Till it started to breathe Golden Land, golden land Hold our names in your hands Golden Land, golden land We were made for this chance Oh, oh We belong here now Golden Land, golden land There was rain on the tin roof And mud on the porch steps A red-tailed hawk circled Over the split-rail fence You laughed in the doorway With flour on your sleeve Said the best things we build Start where the hard days leave And the ground kept on calling Soft under our feet One more mile One more try Till it started to breathe Golden Land, golden land Hold our names in your hands Golden Land, golden land We were made for this chance Oh, oh We belong here now Golden Land, golden land Let the hard rain come Let the cold wind roll We learned how to stay We learned how to grow From a seed to a field From a field to a song What we buried in winter Stood up all along Golden Land, golden land Hold our names in your hands Golden Land, golden land We were made for this chance Oh, oh We belong here now Golden Land, golden land Golden Land, golden land Hold our names in your hands Golden Land, golden land We were made for this chance
