With arms outstreched

it's sixteen miles

to the promised land 

and I promise you 

I'm doing the best I can

now don't fool yourself

in thinking you're more than a man

cause you'll probably 

end up dead 

I visit these

mountains with frequency 

and I stand here 

with my arms up

now some days

 they last longer than others

but this day by the lake

went too fast

and if you want me 

you better speak up, I won't wait

so you better

move fast

don't fool yourself

in thinking you're more than you are

with your arms outstreched

to me
