Promised Land
SMOOTH Joe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One Day we will be free
From Fighting, Violence, People Crying in the Streets
Were the angels from above
Falling down and spread their wings like doves
As we walk, hand and hand,
Sisters, brothers
In my house baby
You and I
We'll walk the lands
My house baby
And everyone and anyone
We'll take our stand
In my house baby
Were the angels from above
Falling down and spread their wings like doves
As we walk, hand and hand,
Sisters, brothers
We'll make it to the promised lands
Were the angels from above
Fall down and spread their wings like doves
As we walk hand in hand
Sisters, brothers
We'll make it to the promised land
Fall down and spread their wings like doves
As we walk hand in hand
Sisters, brothers
We'll make it to the promised land
Beat my house
Beat my house, house
The first stanza of Joe's song "Promised Land" speaks to a hopeful future where people are free from fighting, violence, and the sound of people crying in the streets. This means that there is hope for the future, and it's a future where people can live together in peace and unity. The song is also about the yearning of people to experience a new world where there is no more discrimination based on race, gender, ethnicity, or religion.
The second stanza of the song highlights the theme of angels from above falling down and spreading their wings like doves. This metaphorical device suggests that good things are coming from above, and it is a sign of hope for the future. The lines "As we walk hand in hand, sisters, brothers" and "We'll make it to the promised land" bring up the notion of unity and working together to achieve prosperity.
The chorus repeats the same lyrics from the second stanza and helps to emphasize the message that people can work together to make a better world, and it's a message that is powerful and uplifting.
Overall, the song's messages revolve around hope, unity, and the possibility of a future without suffering, discrimination, and violence.
