Some have crossed the mountains
some have crossed the sea
some have crossed the desert
to be free

Some have fled the famine
some have run from war
some were driven from their homes
to roam forevermore

Since time began
a simple prayer
lingers on the cold night air
where is home
where is home

Everyone is searching
everybody hopes he'll find
a place where he can
rest his head
a place where he has
peace of mind
come and stand beside me
come and take my hand
and maybe we can walk together
towards the Promised Land

Everybody hopes he'll find
a place where he can
rest his head
a place where he has
peace of mind
come and stand beside me
come and take my hand
and maybe we can look together
to find the Promised Land

Everybody hopes he'll find
a place where he can
rest his head
a place where he has
peace of mind
if you stand beside me
if you take my hand
then maybe
we can cross the border
into the Promised Land

Maybe
we can all cross over
into the Promised Land
