(Ist verse)

Brother

sister

lend an ear

I’m headin’ for the promised land!

Troubles soon will disappear

I’m headin’ for the promised land!

When I reach it there will be love and happiness awaitin’ for me

Come along and you will see! I’m headin’ for the promised land!

(2nd Verse)

I’ll be singin’ freedom’s song

I’m headin’for the promised land!

That’s the place where I belong

I’m headin’for the promised land!

I’ll get there one day I know;

Now I’ve started

I’m arian’ to go

Where the milk and honey flow

I’m headin’for the promised land!

(Refrain)

O

listen

don’t hear that trumpet

Sounding forth the call?

O

children

won’t you rise and follow

One and all?

Better days are now in view

I’m headin’for the promised land!

All my dreams are comin’true

I’m headin’for the promised land!

Want to leave the past behind

Face the future with a hopeful mind.

Peace and joy I’ll surely find.

I’m headin’ for the promised land!
