Lord came to Moses, he took him by the hand
He said I want you to lead your people, to the promised land
Now your brother faro, he might try to start a fight
But believe me Mo, everything will be allright
When you're looking for the promised land
When you're looking for the promised land

Lord came to Daniel, said Danny boy, my friend
Somebody's gonna take you, and throw you in the lion's dan
But believe me Danny, don't you worry about no cat
I'll be right beside you, and the lion can't do you bad

And all that they wanted, was a place where they could be
Living their lives, standing tall and free
My brothers and sisters, it's the same for you and me,
we're looking for the promised land,
we're looking for the promised land
Yes we are, nononononono
All that they wanted, was a place were they could be,
living their lives, standing tall and free
My brothers and sister, it's the same for you and me,
we're looking for the promised land,
we're looking for the promised land

Lord came to Doctor King, said Marley won't you listen up
I want you to lead you're people, to the mountaintop
In the beginning of the journey, they took a life away
Now they can kill a man, but the dream lives on the way

And all that they wanted, was a place were they could be
Living their lives, standing tall and free
My brothers and sisters, it's the same for you and me,
we're looking for the promised land,
we're looking for the promised land,
we're looking for the promised land,
we're looking for the promised land,
we're looking for the promised land,
we're looking for the promised land,
we're looking for the promised land,
we're looking for the promised land
