Shasha Marley - Promised Land (A State Of Mind) lyrics

rate me

CHORUS)

Am going to my promised land, would you like to come with me

Am going to my promised land, won't you love to come with me

Am going to my promised land, (Sensei Melvin Brown)

Won't you like to come with me

Am going to my promised land, (Nicoleta)

Won't you love to come with me

Promised Land is not Australia, Promised Land is not Europa

Promised Land is not America; Promised Land is a state of mind

I say the Promised Land is not the Philippines, Promised Land is not Bahamas

Promised Land is not Colombia; Promised Land is a state of mind

Oh, oh, oh, eh!

CHORUS

What is this life if full of care

No time to stand and no time to stare

I say no time to stand in broad day light

And stare as long as sheep or cows

The days are coming when Jah will send a famine through the land

Not a famine of food nor thirst for water

But a famine of hearing the words of the most high God

The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few

Wuoh woh, men will stager from sea to sea

And wander from the North to the East

Searching for the Word of the most high God, oh gosh

I say people will travel round all over the whole wide world

Searching for the truth, but they will never find it

Cos the Promised Land is not in Africa, Promised Land is not Jamaica

Promised Land is not America; Promised Land is a state of mind

Promised Land is not in India; Promised Land is not in Russia

Promised Land is not Japan; Promised Land is a state of mind

Oh, oh, oh, eh!

CHORUS

Promised land, Promised Land, Promised Land

Promised Land is a state of mind

Promised land, Promised Land, Promised Land

Promised Land is a state of mind

I say the Promised Land I'm talking about is not situated on Earth, yeah woah

Promised Land is a state of mind
