[Verse 1]
Brothers, sisters
One day we will be free
From fighting, violence
People crying in the street
[Chorus]
When the angels from above
Fall down and spread their wings like doves
As we walk hand in hand
Sisters, brothers, we'll make it to the Promised Land
[Verse 2]
You and I
We'll walk the land
And as one, and as one
We'll take our stand
[Chorus]
When the angels from above
Fall down and spread their wings like doves
As we walk hand in hand
Sisters, brothers, we'll make it to the Promised Land
[Chorus]
When the angels from above
Fall down and spread their wings like doves
As we walk hand in hand
Sisters, brothers, we'll make it to the Promised Land
[Bridge]
Uh huh
Oh yeah
Promised Land
Ooh
[Chorus]
When the angels from above
Fall down and spread their wings like doves
As we walk hand in hand
Sisters, brothers, we'll make it to the Promised Land
[Post-Chorus]
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh Lord
(Oh yeah, oh yeah) Hand in hand
(Oh yeah, oh yeah) Promised Land
[Chorus]
When the angels from above
Fall down and spread their wings like doves
As we walk hand in hand
Sisters, brothers, we'll make it to the Promised Land
[Outro]
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah
