Gloryland

(gloryland, in gloryland
(you're here in gloryland)
It started with a feeling
And a dream was born in you
You hope and pray that come the day
You'll see that dream come true.
With every passing moment
You begin to understand
That you're bound for gloryland.
With a hunger in your heart
And with fire in your soul,
With passion rising high,
You know that you can reach your goal.
Believe in what you do
And you've the strength to see it through
On the road to gloryland.
(and I say...)
Gloryland, in gloryland
It's in your heart, it's in your hand.
In gloryland, in gloryland,
You're here in gloryland.
This is gloryland.
As the day gets ever closer
You are reaching for the sky.
The flames that burn inside
Are the flames that never die.
When you start to believe
It's in your heart,
It's in your hand.
You know, this is gloryland.
(and I say...)
Gloryland in gloryland,
It's in your heart,
It's in your hand
In gloryland, hey gloryland.
You're here in gloryland.
(repeat)
(you're here in gloryland)
It started with a feeling
And a dream was born in you
You hope and pray that come the day
You'll see that dream come true.
With every passing moment
You begin to understand
That you're bound for gloryland.
With a hunger in your heart
And with fire in your soul,
With passion rising high,
You know that you can reach your goal.
Believe in what you do
And you've the strength to see it through
On the road to gloryland.
(and I say...)
Gloryland, in gloryland
It's in your heart, it's in your hand.
In gloryland, in gloryland,
You're here in gloryland.
This is gloryland.
As the day gets ever closer
You are reaching for the sky.
The flames that burn inside
Are the flames that never die.
When you start to believe
It's in your heart,
It's in your hand.
You know, this is gloryland.
(and I say...)
Gloryland in gloryland,
It's in your heart,
It's in your hand
In gloryland, hey gloryland.
You're here in gloryland.
