Land of Promise

Je pusse skoa, sjule munnen med gul Vadimecum Dro på Steinbergfæsten på Toten Museum Som var kjent for Amtmann Weidemanns skinndaue spøkelse Det dreit je i, je var søtten år og ukysse! Det var dæns, med bændet Unacorda Med Toten-Bjørn, som spellte gitar på bass-strenga Det var skummelt, på museet den kvæll Med haglbyger, og tord'værsskrell Gjennom et vindu Fekk je sjå Stygg og grå Rætt i trynet på en dau mann Trynet på en dau mann Mens Unacorda spellte! Je ligg vakjin om natta Je får itte sova Je ser trynet på en dau mann Konferansier'n, sto mellom flagg og bjørkeløv I sommerdress, het Per Arne Knallhaug Men je sjøl, hadde rømt oppi skauen Og var redd, var redd for dauen For det je såg Bleik og grå Amtmann Weidemann Rætt i trynet på en dau mann Trynet på en dau mann Mens Unacorda spellte! Je ligg vakjin om natta Og får itte sova Je ser trynet på en dau mann Trynet på en dau mann

[Verse] Down by the dusty old neon sign We sip on cola as the stars align Mixin' Fanta for a fun new twist Under the moonlight we can't resist [Verse 2] Forget the troubles from nine to five With cola and Fanta we come alive Talkin' dreams and silly banter In a world of cola and orange Fanta [Chorus] Cola gives a kick so sweet and bold Fanta's fizzin' with stories untold Together they make the perfect blend A bubbly bond that will never end [Verse 3] In the back of a pickup truck we roam With cola and Fanta we're never alone Humming tunes from the old jukebox Together we can break all the clocks [Bridge] Underneath the twilight's gentle spell We toast to cola and Fanta as well Dancin' 'round with carefree laughter Forgetting time now and hereafter [Chorus] Cola gives a kick so sweet and bold Fanta's fizzin' with stories untold Together they make the perfect blend A bubbly bond that will never end

[Verse] While the dreamers sleep in blinds of gold The wolves of greed are getting bold They gnaw our rights and sell our soul And we just watch the dark unfold [Verse 2] The fires burn the waters rise Truth lies hidden 'neath disguise We’re busy chasing vacant highs Ignoring desperate Muffled cries [Chorus] Wake up now before it’s gone We’ve gotta sing a battle song Voice of thunder loud and strong Or our freedom won’t last long [Verse 3] They wage their wars on borrowed time With jaded hearts and twisted rhyme They'll trade away the days sublime Leaving echoes of our prime [Chorus] Wake up now before it’s gone We’ve gotta sing a battle song Voice of thunder loud and strong Or our freedom won’t last long [Bridge] The silent ones must break the mold The path to justice must be bold In this fight we can't be sold Come together hearts of gold

[Verse] We sit in shadows eyes half closed While power brokers choose our woes The ship is sinking while we dream Silent screaming in a noisy stream [Verse 2] They sell us lies wrapped in dismay Kicking stones along the way While bitter weeds grow in our yard It's time to act it's not that hard [Chorus] What we stand to lose we must defend This world's not theirs to twist and bend Don't let apathy be our guide Rise and fight for what's inside [Verse 3] They pave the forests build with greed Our cries for justice go in heed The ground is cracking under foot We must wake up and cast the root [Bridge] Our ancestors fought for freedoms fire Don't let their battles now expire We're stronger when we shout as one The silent protest has begun [Verse 4] Heed the call and raise your voice It's time to make a daring choice They won't silence what we expose The wind of change in every prose

[Verse] You sit in silence while the world turns gray The wolves are howling they're hungry for prey Your freedoms crumble like ancient clay Stand up and fight don't just waste away [Chorus] Wake up brother sister open your eyes The fire's climbing burning all disguise There’s a storm brewing in these clear skies Freedom is fading under all their lies [Verse 2] We've seen the promises fall through the crack While puppet masters stab our dreams and laugh They’ve chained our voices buried the facts It’s time we fight to get our lives back [Chorus] Wake up brother sister open your eyes The fire's climbing burning all disguise There’s a storm brewing in these clear skies Freedom is fading under all their lies [Bridge] The ink's still wet on our future’s page It's not too late to unleash our rage Tear down the walls break out of this cage Hold hands together light up the stage [Verse 3] Our hope is fragile our spirit strong If we just sit here we're aiding the wrong Asleep in daylight for far too long Rise up resist where we all belong

[Verse] There's a man in a suit with a dangerous plan Selling fear to the folks who don't understand National guard marching to his twisted beat Freedom's a memory fading in the heat [Verse 2] Promises of power whispers in the air Liberty held hostage by a grim affair A shadow on the move like a creeping vine Distant drums warning us of the thin red line [Chorus] Oh The rising tide of shadows Will quench the spark of dreams Drowning truth in echo chambers In a whirlwind of evil schemes [Verse 3] Uniforms and rifles on the city streets Crushing dissent under tyrant's feet Fear and control is their only charade But we stand together Unafraid [Verse 4] From the hearts of the people A clarion call Resist the whip Defy the walls We won’t be tools for their master’s plot For hope in unity We’ve fought and fought [Chorus] Oh The rising tide of shadows Will quench the spark of dreams Drowning truth in echo chambers In a whirlwind of evil schemes

[Verse] The General's marching through the square Uniforms shining in the glare Whispers in shadows loud and clear The people's message rings with fear [Verse 2] Power's shifting through the hands Dreams of freedom start to bend Eyes are watching hearts contend The Constitution's on the mend [Chorus] Don't let the General take the town Don’t let oppression take you down Raise your voice and make a sound Justice's light must now be found [Verse 3] Flags are waving Masks unveiled Stories in history they’ve derailed Through the streets the anger spills Fueled by whispers Fed by thrills [Bridge] Dreams are shattered in the night When the General takes his flight Promising a golden dawn But shadows linger long and drawn [Chorus] Don’t let the General take the town Don’t let oppression take you down Raise your voice and make a sound Justice's light must now be found

[Verse] दिल दीवाना खो गया तेरे हुस्न की झंकार में सारा हिंदुस्तान बसा है गोरी तेरे प्यार में [Verse 2] प्रीत की रीत बरसती म्हारु देख वो राजस्थान में सारा हिंदुस्तान बसा है गोरी तेरे प्यार में [Chorus] तू है चांदनी रातों की रोशनी तेरी बिंदिया चमके जैसे तारों की बातों में [Verse 3] मोहब्बत की छाछ में चूरा है ये दिल तेरे नाम की लहरों पे लिखा है जो सिलसिला [Bridge] दिल की धड़कन बनके तू समा गई मेरे ख्वाबों की दुनिया तू ही बसा गई [Chorus] तू है चांदनी रातों की रोशनी तेरी बिंदिया चमके जैसे तारों की बातों में

I still remember that Vegas night, When the world stood still in your blue-eyes bright. A spark so strong, we didn’t need a word, In your laughter, every dream I’d ever had was heard. From the neon glow to the Southern pines, We built a home where your love shines. With three little boys and a life so true, Every step I’ve taken has led me to you. Katy’s smile, it lights my way, Through the highs, the lows, and every day. Her blue eyes hold the truth I’ve known, She’s the heart of the love I call my own. No words needed, I can feel her soul, Katy’s my forever, the one who makes me whole. Mississippi mornings with her by my side, Joining our two worlds, hearts open wide. She’s the compass when I’ve lost my way, A quiet strength that never fades. Through the chaos of our boys and a house so loud, She’s the calm, the peace, my every vow. In her arms, I’ve found my grace, Heaven’s reflection in her smiling face. Katy’s smile, it lights my way, Through the highs, the lows, and every day. Her blue eyes hold the truth I’ve known, She’s the heart of the love I call my own. No words needed, I can feel her soul, Katy’s my forever, the one who makes me whole. Katy’s smile, it lights my way, Through the highs, the lows, and every day. Her blue eyes hold the truth I’ve known, She’s the heart of the love I call my own. No words needed, I can feel her soul, Katy’s my forever, the one who makes me whole. With every moment, my love just grows, Katy’s my forever, the one who knows.

The siren screams, and he’s out the door, Boots hit the ground as the engines roar. In a town so small, where help’s hard to find, He’s the first to show up, leaving nothing behind. With his boys watching close, he’s leading the way, Teaching them courage by living each day. It’s not just the fire he’s fighting to tame, It’s the man he’s shaping through the flames. When the fire bell rings, and the flames climb high, He’s a steady hand beneath a smoky sky. Risking it all for the lives at stake, He’s showing his boys the kind of men to make. It’s not the fear you feel but the strength you show, That’s the kind of man I want you to know. When the smoke clears out and the night’s gone still, He’s back at home on that porch up the hill. Telling his boys, “It’s not what you say, But the things you do that light the way.” With a handshake firm and a heart so true, He’s building a legacy in all that they do. From the firehouse bell to his family’s needs, He’s showing the world what it means to lead. When the fire bell rings, and the flames climb high, He’s a steady hand beneath a smoky sky. Risking it all for the lives at stake, He’s showing his boys the kind of men to make. It’s not the fear you feel but the strength you show, That’s the kind of man I want you to know.
