[Verse 1]
Met in promise land, that’s the start
Kasava girl with the steady heart
FIFO fly-in, clock in, clock out
I’m on the excavator, dirt come out
She from Queensland, sun on her skin
I’m from Victoria, cold where I’m in
She born PNG, I born NZ
Two different maps, same gravity
We talk in rhythms, no need to rush
Soft hand touch, then the workday crush
Smooth rhythm when she steps my way
I switch the lane, then I ride that wave
[Chorus]
Promise land, promise land (promise land)
Kasava girl, I’m holdin’ her hand
Promise land, promise land (promise land)
Different roots, but we understand
[Verse 2]
She FIFO nights, then she back again
I dig them lines where the red dirt bends
She got that laugh like a southern breeze
I got that tilt when the whole world leans
Queensland heat, Victoria chill
PNG blood, NZ still
Same long road, same long shift
Same kind smile when the pressures lift
I move slow, then I cut real quick
Switch the pattern, let the phrases click
She says, “stay there,” I say, “I do”
Out in the field, it’s just me and you
[Chorus]
Promise land, promise land (promise land)
Kasava girl, I’m holdin’ her hand
Promise land, promise land (promise land)
Different roots, but we understand
[Bridge]
[Half-time switch]
Red dust on the boots, that’s proof
We came through storms and still stayed cool
From PNG rain to the Vic line
From Queensland sun to my midnight grind
[Chorus]
Promise land, promise land (promise land)
Kasava girl, I’m holdin’ her hand
Promise land, promise land (promise land)
Different roots, but we understand
Promise land, promise land (promise land)
Kasava girl, I’m holdin’ her hand
Promise land, promise land (promise land)
She born PNG, I born NZ
