Lord, we take this journey 

To find a promised land 

Lord, we take this journey 

To find a promised land 

And we believe in your power 

We believe in your power 

We believe in your power 

But the end is so close,

So close at hand 



Lord, these men are hungry 

There just hasn't been enough 

And the journey's been so rough 

And, Lord, these men are hurting 

They implore me to go back 

As the planks beneath them crack 



And I know it's my responsibility 

But I'm starving too 

And I hurt, I do 

And I'm lost 

I believe in my responsibility 

But I need to see 

If the fruits will be worth the cost 



So I'm begging you, Lord 

You gotta stop, take a look 

At your children who believe in this promised land 

Have mercy, Lord 

Stop their suffering and their woe 

Stop, shine your light on these children 

Who have faith in your guiding hand 

I'm just begging Lord 

‘Cause there's no place else to go 

I am unworthy, Lord 



Lord, this ship is crowded 

And the men are tired an worn 

But another baby's born 

And, Lord, this ship is broken 

And the sails are ripped and old 

But the winds are rough and cold 



And I know it's my responsibility 

When I ride the sea 

These men turn to me for a sign 

I believe in my responsibility 

But I can't be sure 

When it's time for your light to shine 

So I'm begging you, Lord 

To make it stop 

Take a look at your children 

Who believe in this promised land 

Have mercy, Lord 

Give a sign to let us know 

Stop, shine your light on these children 

Who have faith in your guiding hand 

I'm just begging, Lord 

‘Cause there's no place else to go 



Lord, save this child 

I am not strong enough 

I am not strong enough 

Lord, save my soul 

I am unworthy 



Lord, take my hand 

I am not strong enough 

I am not strong enough 

Lord, take my heart 

I am unworthy 



Lord, give me hope 

I am not strong enough 

I am not strong enough 

Lord, give me light 

I am unworthy 

I am unworthy 



Stop, take a look 

At the children, at the children 

Who believe in this promised land 

You gotta have mercy, Lord 

Have mercy, Lord 

Give us strength so that we can grow 



Stop, shine your light 

On these children who have faith divine command



I'm just begging, Lord 

I'm just begging you, Lord 

I know I am unworthy 

But there's no place else to go 



A new world calls across the ocean 

A new world calls across the ocean 

A new world calls across the sky
