I wanna say to my sisters and my brothers
Keep the faith
When the storm flies and the wind blows
Go on at a steady paceWhen the battle is fought and the victory's won
We can all shout together we have overcome
We'll talk to the Father and the Son
When we make it to the promised landIf we walk together little children
We don't ever have to worry
Through this world of trouble
We gotta love one anotherLet us take our fellow man by the hand
Try to help him to understand
We can all be together forever and ever
When we make it to the promised landOur bible reads
Thou shall not be afraid
Of the terror by night
Nor the arrow that flies by dayNor for the pestilence
That waiteth in the darkness
Nor for the destruction
That waiteth in the noon-day hourIf we walk together little children
We don't ever have to worry
Through this world of trouble
We gotta love one anotherLet us take our fellow man by the hand
Try to help him to understand
We can all be together forever and ever
When we make it to the promised landThis world is not our home
We're only passing through
Our trail is all made up
Way beyond the blueLet us do the very best that we can
While we're travelin' through this land
We can all be together shakin' a hand
When we make it to the promised landIf we walk together little children
We don't ever have to worry
Through this world of trouble
We gotta love one anotherLet us take our fellow man by the hand
Try to help him to understand
We can all be together forever and ever
When we make it to the promised landWhen we make it to the promised land
Make it to the promised land
(Sisters)
Make it to the promised land
(Little children)
Make it to the promised landMake it to the promised land
(Children)
Make it to the promised land
We can all be together forever and ever
When we make it to the promised landWalk together little children
We won't ever have to worry
Through this world of trouble
We gotta love one anotherLet us take our fellow man by the hand
Try to help him to understand
We can all be together forever and ever
When we make it to the promised landWe can all be together forever and ever
When we make it to the promised land
