Lyrics
PROMISED LAND
Have you seen the glory of the promised land?
Have you seen the glory of the promised land?
Streams of running water flow right through your hand
Have you seen the glory of the promised land?
Have you seen my dear friends lost in the flood?
Have you seen my dear friends lost in the flood?
They set out like Moses, but all they found was mud
Have you seen my people lost in the flood?
Can we cross the river, weather the tide?
Can we cross the river, weather the tide?
Can you see my father on the other side?
Can we cross the river, weather the tide?
Will we walk the valley? Will we heed the call?
Will we walk the valley? Will we heed the call?
Will we take a stand and make love the law?
Will we find a place where justice is for all?
The promised land, the promised land
Where we'll build our dreams from blood, sweat, and sand
Where we will triumph, every woman, child, and man
We'll find peace in the promised land
We'll find hope in the in the promised land
We're gonna find joy, so much joy in the promised land
We're gonna find joy, joy in the promised land
Peace, hope, joy in the promised land
