Lookin' for the promised land

Lord came to Moses, he took him by the hand.
He said I want you to lead your people, to the promised land.
Now your brother faro, he might try to start a fight.
But believe me Mo, everything will be allright.
When you're looking for the promised land.
When you're looking for the promised land.

Lord came to Daniel, said Danny boy, my friend.
Somebody's gonna take you, and throw you in the lion's dan.
But believe me Danny, don't you worry about no cat.
I'll be right beside you, and the lion can't do you bad.

And all that they wanted, was a place where they could be.
Living their lives, standing tall and free.
My brothers and sisters, it's the same for you and me,
we're looking for the promised land,
we're looking for the promised land.
Yes we are, nononononono....
All that they wanted, was a place were they could be,
living their lives, standing tall and free.
My brothers and sister, it's the same for you and me,
we're looking for the promised land,
we're looking for the promised land.

Lord came to Doctor King, said Marley won't you listen up.
I want you to lead you're people, to the mountaintop.
In the beginning of the journey, they took a life away.
Now they can kill a man, but the dream lives on the way.

And all that they wanted, was a place were they could be.
Living their lives, standing tall and free.
My brothers and sisters, it's the same for you and me, 
we're looking for the promised land, 
we're looking for the promised land,
we're looking for the promised land, 
we're looking for the promised land,
we're looking for the promised land, 
we're looking for the promised land,
we're looking for the promised land, 
we're looking for the promised land.
