Dennis Brown – Promised Land

 

 

The promised land
Going to the promised land
Yes, the promised land, oh gosh now
To the promised land, well

 

Make a step down to Wasmara
Then we stopped in Addis Ababa
Made our way to Shahamane land
Riding on the King’s highway

 

To the promised land
Going to the promised land, oh gosh
To the promised land, woii
To the promised land, well

 

There’s plenty of land for you and I, by and by
Lots of food to share for everyone
No time for segregation in the promised land, oh gosh

 

Take me to the promised land
Said the promised land, woii
Yes, the promised land
Whoa, woii, well… yeh

 

Said we’re, riding on the King’s highway
From-a Cairo to Kenya
Made a stop in Wasmara
Then we made another one in Addis Ababa

 

The promised land
Going to the promised land, oh gosh
Said the promised land
Yeah-a, the promised land, woii

 

Then I said to myself
Give a thanks for the prophet, God
For He gave me the teachings, so I could a see
The reality of my true being and levity
There’s a lot of work to be done, oh gosh
In the promised land, yeah-a

 

Talking ’bout the promised land
Yes, to the promised land
The promised land
Going to the promised land, oh oii
The promised land
Whoa, the promised land
Said the promised land, whoa oh, woii, yeh
Whoa

 

Brother-man, what are you doing for the promised land?
Gotta take your stand and let the Prophets live on, yeah
There’s work to be done, though you can’t run
Got a job to be done, so you’ve got to do it
Even, a little by little

 

Yes, the promised land
Going to the promised land
Said the promised land
Going to the promised land

 

Prophets of the old, said the West got to perish, eh, oh
Don’t let your hopes and aspirations crumble before you, no way
Gotta go, gotta go, got to go, I got to go, got to go
To the promised land, oh gosh
Yeah, the promised land, whoa oh, oh, oii
