Promised Land

The sun is shining the children smiling

As they walk along the golden sand

The chosen people have climbed the steeple

On their way to the promised land

Across the river away from sorrow

And on to freedom where there's peace of mind

Someone beside them someone to guide them

On their way to the promised land

And by the river I'll be with you all the way

And by the river I'll be with you all the way

There's milk and honey it's always sunny

The people sing with their head in hand

And soon their patience will be rewarded

And they shall walk in the promised land

And by the river I'll be with you all the way

The sun is shining the children smiling

As they walk along the golden sand

The chosen people have climbed the steeple

On their way to the promised land

And by the river I'll be with you all the way

The sun is shining the children smiling

As they walk along the golden sand

The chosen people have climbed the steeple

On their way to the promised land

And by the river I'll be with you all the way
