Mario Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I made it (Welcome to the Promise Land)
I made it (Welcome to the Promise Land)
I made it (Welcome to the Promise Land)
For the first time in my life
I can admit that I'm really
Needing a change
Tired of going back and forth
And it's mainly with myself
'Cause now I see that I need some help
And I know I tried everything else
So now it's time I try to truth
And it's you
'Cause baby, I see the light
And it's all 'cause of you
And what you do
You left my past behind
You brought me to heaven
(I'm in heaven)
It's like you opened up
The gate for me
And let me into your heaven
(I'm in heaven)
I never could've made it
All by myself
I heard you say:
Welcome to the Promise Land
Welcome to the Promise Land
(Welcome, Welcome)
Baby girl, you have me saying
Welcome to the Promise Land (Hey)
Welcome to the Promise Land (Hey)
(Welcome, Welcome)
Girl, I'm givin' up all my sins
Ohh, I made it
I made it
I made it
Welcome to the Promise Land
I made it
I made it
I made it
Welcome to the Promise Land
It wasn't long after
I met you that I got right
You showed me a better place
And I got it in sight,
I ain't gonna let it go
I waited for too long
I'll stay strong;
I won't do wrong
'Cause I only can hurt myself
And that ain't what I'm tryna do
True... I love you...
'Cause girl I see the light
And it's all 'cause of you
I love you
'Cause girl
You've changed my life
You brought me to heaven
(I'm in heaven)
It's like you opened up
The gate for me
And let me into your heaven
(I'm in heaven)
I never could've made it
All by myself
I heard you say:
Welcome to the Promise Land
Welcome to the Promise Land
(Welcome, Welcome)
Baby girl, you have me saying
Welcome to the Promise Land
Welcome to the Promise Land
(Welcome, Welcome)
Girl, I'm givin' up all my sins
Ohh, I made it
I made it
I made it
Welcome to the Promise Land
I made it
I made it (I made it)
I made it
Welcome to the Promise Land
If it wasn't for you,
Where would I be baby?
I have to think about it
If it wasn't for you,
Where would I be baby?
Sad part about it is
I don't know
Said I don't know
(I don't know)
(Said I don't know)
Thought I heard you say
Welcome to the Promise Land
Welcome to the Promise Land
(Welcome, Welcome)
Baby girl, you have me saying
Welcome to the Promise Land
Welcome to the Promise Land
(Welcome, Welcome)
Girl, I'm givin' up
All my sins
Ohh, I made it
I made it (I made it, baby)
I made it
Welcome to the Promise Land
Ohh, I made it
I made it
I made it
She said welcome
To the Promise Land
So happy, yeah, I made it
Welcome to the Promise Land
Made it, I made it, baby
