Lyrics

Here in the jungle... all alone
Clothes on my back... and my burner phone
Well that’s about... all I own - all I own

Gazing out... across the sea
Twenty miles... and I could be free
I whisper England... can you hear me - can you hear me

Ohh ohh... I reach out my hand
I can almost touch... the promised land
Well I call out... my name
Things will never... be the same
Well I hope you... understand
Why I seek... the promised land

Smugglers smoke... drink and boast
I got washed up... on the Turkish coast
Well the unknown is what... I fear the most - fear the most

Three thousand... miles I tread
Mountains and seas... no food no bed
I was drowning... inside my head - inside my head

Ohh ohh... I reach out my hand
I can almost touch... the promised land
Well I call out... my name
Things will never... be the same
Well I hope you... understand
Why I seek... the promised land

I’m more than a number... on the news
I read the stories... hear the views
There’s hope in my soul... hope in my blues - in my blue
s
All I need... is a brand new start
A second chance... to play my part
I’ve still got hope... and love in my heart - in my heart

Ohh ohh... I reach out my hand
I can almost touch... the promised land
Well I call out... my name
Things will never... be the same
Well I hope you... understand
Why I seek... the promised land
Well I hope you... understand
Why I seek... the promised land
