Lyrics for the song:
Promised Land

I left my ball and chain behind me

Every burden, every weight

I changed my name to freedom

From prisoner and slave

Stood up to my oppressors  

Shook the shackles off my hands

I’m going down, down, down to the Promised Land

I’m not just getting out of Egypt

Egypt’s getting out of me

I can see those walls of Jericho

In pieces at my feet

I can taste that milk and honey

From the wilderness I am

Going down, down, down to the Promised Land

I’m dusting off the desert

I’m silencing my doubt

The one who goes before me

Is the one who lead me out

With fire in the darkness

With footprints in the sand

I’m going down, down, down to the Promised Land
