I made it (welcome to the Promise Land)
I made it (welcome to the Promise Land)
I made it (welcome to the Promise Land)
For the first time in my life,
i can't admit that i really needed a change
'cause I'm tired of this fighting,
tired of goin back and forward,
it's mainly with myself, 'cause now I see,
I need some help,
and I know we've tried everything else,
so now it's time I try the truth, and it's you,
'cause girl i see the light,
and it's all 'cause of you, and whatcha do,
you've left my past behind,
[Bridge]
you brought me to heaven, I'm in heaven,
It's like you opened up the gate for me,
and let me into your heaven, I'm in heaven,
I never could have made it all by myself,
I heard you sayin
[Refrain]
Welcome to the Promise Land, Welcome to the Promise Land,
welcome, welcome,
babygirl you're heavensent,
Welcome to the Promise Land, Welcome to the Promise Land,
welcome, welcome,
girl I'm givin up on my sins
I made it,
I made it,
I made it, welcome to the Promise Land,
I made it,
I made it,
I made it, welcome to the Promise Land,
It wasn't long after I met you, that I got right,
you showed me a better place,
and I got it in sight, I ain't gonna let it go,
I've waited for too long, I'll stay strong, I won't do wrong,
'cause I only can hurt myself,
and that ain't what I'm tryin to do, I love you,
'cause girl I see the light
and it's all 'cause of you, I love you,
'cause girl you changed my life,
[Bridge]
you brought me to heaven, I'm in heaven,
It's like you opened up the gates for me,
and let me into your heaven, I'm in heaven,
I never could have made it all by myself,
I heard you sayin
[Refrain]
Welcome to the Promise Land, Welcome to the Promise Land,
welcome, welcome,
babygirl you're heavensent,
Welcome to the Promise Land, Welcome to the Promise Land,
welcome, welcome,
girl I'm givin up all my sins
I made it,
I made it,
I made it, welcome to the Promise Land,
I made it,
I made it, (I made it)
I made it, welcome to the Promise Land
If it wasn't for you, where would I be baby,
If it wasn't for you, where would I be baby, (the bad part about it is)
I need you......
Girl I need you... (?)
Said i'm so gone...
baby, then I heard you sayin
[Refrain]
Welcome to the Promise Land, Welcome to the Promise Land,
welcome, welcome,
babygirl you're heavensent,
Welcome to the Promise Land, Welcome to the Promise Land, (you know it)
welcome, welcome, (for you)
girl I'm givin up all my sins
I made it,
I made it,
I made it, (baby) welcome to the Promise Land,
I made it,
I made it,
I made it, (she said) welcome to the Promise Land,
I made it, (so happy)
I made it,
I made it, welcome to the Promise Land,
I made it,
I made it,
I made it, welcome to the Promise Land,
made it baby,
I made it, oh yeah,
uuuh, yeah yea, yea,
Welcome to the Promise Land
