Lyrics
Chorus
Oh we are crossing, mm mm the freedom river
Hear it calling just like the ringing of a bell
There'll be no stopping, no need to reconsider
We got to see that promised land for ourselves
V1
We were slaves down in Egypt all day working in the sun
When that no-good Pharoah treated us so wrong
Then god called down to Moses, child now go and get it done
You got to lead my people back where they belong
Repeat Chorus
V2
We've been walking thru this desert now for forty long years
Must've worn out close to forty pairs of shoes
And if you're feeling low, well let me dry your tears
Come on sister ain't you heard the news
Repeat Chorus
V3
They say the land of Canaan is full of milk and honey
Joy enough for all to go around
But before we go I got to say, although it may sound funny
I was feeling lost, but now I think I'm found
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Chorus
