Didn’t anyone ever tell you

Didn’t anyone ever say

Did you capture a vision of glory

As she held out her hand today

It’s reaching to the broken heart

Right down to where you stand

Didn’t anyone ever tell you

This is your land

Didn’t anyone ever tell you

It doesn’t 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

Didn’t anyone ever tell you

This is your land

You’ll be given the robes of princes

You’ll 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

Didn’t anyone ever tell you

This is your land
