Promised Land  (Part 1 both times-Cic, Weissb.,Hanifin)
Brother, sister, lend an ear,
I’m headin’ for the promised land!__
Troubles soon will disappear,
I’m headin’ for the promised land!
When I reach it there will be    
    love and happiness awaitin’ for me,_
come along and you will see! 
I’m headin’ for the promised land!

I’ll be singin’ freedom’s song,
I’m headin’ for the promised land!

That’s the place where I belong,
I’m headin’ for the promised land!
I’ll get there one day I know;
now I’ve started I’m a-rarin’ to go__
where the milk and honey flow.
I’m headin’ for the promised land.

O, listen, don’t you hear that trumpet,
sounding forth the call?__
O, children, won’t you rise and follow,
one and all?___

Better days are now in view,
I’m headin’ for the promised land!
All my dreams are comin’ true,
I’m headin’ for the promised land!

Want to leave the past behind,
face the future with a hopeful mind.
Peace and joy I’ll surely find,
I’m headin’ for the promised land!
2nd ending
Headin’ for the promised land!
Headin’ for the promised land!____ yeah!

Part 2 (second time) – Murphy, Thornton, Warwick

Broth-er, sis-ter,
Lend an ear, for soon our troubles all will    disappear.
One day there’s bound to be
great love____ for you and me,
just wait   and   see!____
I’m headin’ for the promised land!

I’ll be singin’    free – dom’s song.
I want to find the place where
I belong; it’s waiting there,
I know, were milk____ and honey flow
so there__ I’ll__ go___
I’m headin’ for the promised land!__

O, listen, don’t you hear that trumpet,
sounding forth the call?__
O, children, won’t you rise and follow,
one and all?___

Bet – ter days__ are__
now in view, and all the dreams I dreamed are
comin’ true! I’ll leave the past___ be-hind__
and keep___ a hopeful mind for joy__ I’ll__ find___
I’m headin’ for the promised land!

Headin’ for the promised land!
Headin’ for the prom – ised land!_________ (yeah!)
