A (x4)
                          A
          I want to say to my sisters and my brothers
         D
          Keep the faith
                           A
          When the storm flies and the wind blows
                E
          Go on at a sturdy pace
                           A                                     add7
          When the battle is fought and the victory's won
                       D
          We can all shout together, "We have overcome!"
                    A                           D
          We'll talk to the father and the son
                                                                   A
          When we make it to the promised land

                         When we walk together little children
                         We don't ever have to worry
                         Through this world of trouble
                         We've got to love one another
                         Let us take our fellow man by the hand
                         Try to help him to understand
                         We can all be together forever and forever
                         When we make it to the promised land

          Our bible reads
          Thou shalt not be afraid
          Of the terror by night
          Or the arrow that flies by day
          Nor for the pestilence
          That walketh in the darkness
          Nor for the destruction
          That waiteth in the noon-day hour

                         We will walk together little children
                         We don't ever have to worry
                         Through this world of trouble
                         We got to love one another
                         Let us take our fellow man by the hand
                         Try and help him to understand
                         We can all be together forever and forever
                         When we make it to the promised land
                                         *Solo*   (verse)

          This world is not our home
          We're only passing through
          Our train is all made up
          Way beyond the blue
          Let us do the very best that we can
          While we're travelling through this land
          We can all be together shakin' our hand
          When we make it to the promised land, children

                                        When we make it to the promised land
                                        Make it to the promised land
                                        Make it to the promised land
                                        Make it to the promised land
                                        When we make it to the promised land
                                        Make it to the promised land
                                        We can all be together forever and ever
                                        When we make it to the promised land
                                        We can all be together forever and ever
                                        When we make it to the promised land~~
