Milk and Honey

[Male Vocal] [Soft Vocal Layers] [Melisma] [Late-night] [Warm Vocal Harmonies]

I want some land, 

I want some milk, and honey.

I want that good love ‘Black love 

Brown sugar in the tropics baby!

That’s how the story goes,

[Bridge]
O Honey! I know I went to sleep a mad man,
But I woke up feeling ’Changed

Forgive me for the shouting I did, 

I promise it won’t happen again

Maybe I was a fool to think life would be easier,
Believing in milk and honey,

[Chorus] 
Running from woes

Running from woes 

Running from woes 

Running from woes

I’m running from woes,

[Verse]
O Honey! Tell me is there something wrong?
I read the story many times, 

Searching for power, 

I wanted the silver and gold,

I wanted a crown and an audience,

Tried to use it like my ancestors,

[Bridge]
O Honey! I know I went to sleep a mad man,
But I woke up feeling ’Changed

Forgive me for the shouting I did, 

I promise it won’t happen again

Maybe I was a fool to think life would be easier,
Believing in milk and honey,

[Outro]
Running from woes

Running from woes 

Running from woes 

Running from woes

I’m running from woes,

Hmm hmm! Mhmm!

Running from wOes,

Running from woes,

[Guitar Solo]

[Intro]
I tell you what I did last night,

I stayed up and I thought about me,

Walking through a garden

‘I’ve always dreamed of having,

But never could afford, 

Will you be There, will you be there, Will you be There, Say you will be there,

I’m a single man, looking for a wife, to share my garden with ‘I’m just a single man, tryna share my garden

Will you be There, will you be there, Will you be There, Say you will be there,

I’m not a Fool 
‘Dreaming straight from the ghetto I’m gonna get my Land, 
Filled with milk and honey.

Will you be There, please say you’ll be there, Will you be There, O! Say you’ll be there

We’ll be running from woes,

Planting in our garden,

We’ll be running from woes,

Dancing in our garden,

We’ll be running from woes,

Shouting in our garden,

[Outro]

Just give me some time, A poor man needs love too, I’m willing to go all the way, Just to say I do.

I’ll steal you a garden….I said I’ll steal you a garden, I’ll i’ll’i’ll steal you a garden, I’ll steal you a garden.

We’ll be running from woes,

Planting in our garden,

We’ll be running from woes,

Dancing in our garden,

We’ll be running from woes,

Shouting in our garden,
