Promised Land

Oh Promised Land
Has taken freeman’s heart
Has dragged him through the tunnels
The wall’s built very high

Don’t you see the price
Of its longest 14 miles
When every day is a war
The guide is always gone

We are the messenger
We are the one, two, one, two
Talk to the messenger
We are the one, two, one, two

Oh Promised Land
Is fishing for strange fruit
He’s crossing a river
The boat will sink soon

Thousand times he rowed
Finally overboard
He’s praying to every god
The water is very cold

We are the messenger
We are the one, two, one, two
Talk to the messenger
We are the one, two, one, two
