Promised Land
Veggie Tales Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We didn't have a lot of fun in the desert
We didn't have a lot of fun in the sand
So saddle up your cow and fall behind us now
Cause we're going to the promised land

For years I've eaten nothing but manna
The dish that is filling but bland
But we're on our way, I'll have a cheese souffle

Cause we're going to the promised land

Well, in the promised land, it's gonna be so grand
We'll have our fill from the grill as much as we can stand
It'll be so great oh, we can hardly wait
Cause we're going to the promised land

The dining was lousy with Moses
But we'll be feasting with Josh in command
I'd like a taco please with some pintos and cheese
Cause we're going to the promised land

In the promised land, it's gonna be so grand
We'll have our fill from the grill as much as we can stand
It'll be so great oh, we can hardly wait
Cause we're going to the promised land

In the promised land, it's gonna be so grand
We'll have our fill from the grill as much as we can stand
It'll be so great with waffles on my plate
Cause we're going to the promised land

Waffles sound so good right now
I can just see the feast

They saw it's flowing with milk and honey
They say it's flowing with milk and honey
It's flowing with milk and honey
Cause we're going to the promised land

In the promised land, it's gonna be so grand
We'll have our fill from the grill as much as we can stand
It'll be so great oh, we can hardly wait
Cause we're going to the promised land

In the promised land, it's gonna be so grand
We'll have our fill from the grill as much as we can stand

It'll be so great with waffles on my plate
Cause we're going to the promised land
