Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Out of the darkness
Out of the dust
When we were enslaved
You broke our bondage
And delivered us
Always comes the dawn
After times of silence
Always comes a song
Our hearts are set on pilgrimage
You are our promised land
You are our promised land
We press on, to what lies ahead
You are our promised land
You are our promised land
You guide us by day
Our pillar of fire
You lead us by night
All that we need
You're our provider
Your our breath of life
Wherever we go
Our great defender
You are our home
You spilt the sea
Drown all fear in me
Forever our hope
Our hearts are set on pilgrimage
You are our promised land
You are our promised land
We press on, to what lies ahead
You are our promised land
You are our promised land
You are our wide open space
As you stretch out your hands
You're saying expand
You are our promised land
Our hearts are set on pilgrimage
You are our promised land
You are our promised land
We press on, to what lies ahead
You are our promised land
You are our promised land
