Promised Land
Take me far away
to a never-ending land
They can’t see, they can’t see
what is happening to me
Let me fight some more
Let me do your dirty work
They can’t see, they can’t see
We are kept in slavery
CHORUS:
Took me from my family
Over hills, the great blue sea
We are kept in slavery
Live is but a misery
If we stand together, friends
I think all of this can end
Need some guts and bravery
No more can they take from me
Take me away, take me away
Gimme oil in my lamp
Keep me burning, burning, burning
Gimme oil in my lamp I pray
Gimme oil in my lamp
Keep me burning, burning, burning
Keep me burning till the end of day
CHORUS
Take me away to the promised land
Take me away to the promised land
Take me away
Let us hide our fear
Hide our never-ending fear
We will fight, you will see
And at last we will be free
Let us raise our swords
Together we are strong
They won’t see our regime
and at last we will be free
CHORUS:
Took me from my family
Over hills, the great blue sea
We are kept in slavery
Live is but a misery
If we stand together, friends
I think all of this can end
Need some guts and bravery
No more can they take from me
Blood will spill and we’ll be free
We fought to be free in the promised land
We fought to be free in the promised land
We fought to be free
