Neil Young, Harvest

Did she wake you up to tell you that
It was only a change of plan?
Dream up, dream up, let me fill your cup
With the promise of a man



John Mellencamp, Rain on the Scarecrow

And grandma's on the front porch swing with a Bible in her hand
Sometimes I hear her singing "Take me to the Promised Land"

Celebration Day


We are gonna dance and sing in celebration
We are in the promised land




Fool in the Rain



And if you promised you'd love so completely
An' you said you would always be true
You swore that you never would leave me baby
Whatever happened to you?

"Promise of a New Day" by Paula Abdul.



And the parody from In Living Color ("Promise of a Thin Me") poking fun of the way the original video was shot, allegedly to make Paula seems less 'chunky' at the time.

Maybe stretching here....

That farmer left a harvest, a home and eighty acres
The faith and love for growin' things in his young son's heart
And that teacher left her wisdom in the minds of lots of children
Did her best to give 'em all a better start
And that preacher whispered, "Can't you see the Promised Land?"

Elise believe I never wanted this
Thought this time I'd keep all of my promises
Thought you were the girl I always dreamed about

But I let the dream go
