D6: x20202 D7: xx0212 >From the sun years of the Fifties and the birth of rock and roll Millions screamed to see him do his thing. Elvis touched the life of ev’ry ear that heard him And they couldn’t help but listen when he sang. It’s a long way from Memphis to that mansion in the sky But he kept his faith in Jesus all along It’s a long way from Graceland across Jordan to the Promised Land But Jesus fin’ly came to lead him home.

Cette chanson évoque le parcours spirituel d'une icône de la musique, reliant son ascension à la célébrité et sa quête de foi. Elle retrace les années glorieuses d'Elvis, marquées par l'engouement du rock and roll, tout en soulignant son attachement à la spiritualité et à son croyance en Jésus. L'idée centrale est le voyage symbolique entre Graceland, son célèbre domicile, et la terre promise, représentant l'espoir d'une rédemption et d'une délivrance au-delà de cette vie. C'est un hommage à la foi, mêlé à la nostalgie des temps passés, en reconnaissant les luttes et les triomphes du cœur humain.
