[Verse 1]
[A]I wanna say to my sisters and my brothers
[D]Keep the faith
[A]When the storm flies and the wind blows
[E]Go on at a steady pace
[A]When the battle is fought, and the victory's won
[D]We can all shout together, we have overcome
[A]We'll talk to the Father and the Son
[D]When we make it to the promised land
[A]If we walk together, little children
We don't ever have to worry
Through this world of trouble
We gotta love one another
Let us take our fellow man by the hand
Try to help him to understand

[Chorus 1]
[D]We can all be together, forever and ever
[A]When we make it to the promised land
[E]Our bible reads
[A]Thou shall not be afraid
[D]Of the terror by night
[A]Nor the arrow that flies by day
[D]Nor for the pestilence
[A]That waiteth in the darkness
Nor for the destruction
That waiteth in the noon-day hour
If we walk together, little children
We don't ever have to worry
Through this world of trouble
We gotta love one another

[Verse 2]
[D]Let us take our fellow man by the hand
[A]Try to help him to understand
[E]We can all be together, forever and ever
[A]When we make it to the promised land
[D]This world is not our home
[A]We're only passing through
[D]Our trail is all made up
[A]Way beyond the blue
Let us do the very best that we can
While we're travelin' through this land
We can all be together, shakin' a hand
When we make it to the promised land
If we walk together, little children
We don't ever have to worry

[Chorus 2]
[D]Through this world of trouble
[A]We gotta love one another
[E]Let us take our fellow man by the hand
[A]Try to help him to understand
[D]We can all be together, forever and ever
[A]When we make it to the promised land
[D]When we make it to the promised land
[A]Make it to the promised land
(Sisters)
Make it to the promised land
(Little children)
Make it to the promised land
Make it to the promised land
(Children)

[Verse 3]
[D]Make it to the promised land
[A]We can all be together, forever and ever
[E]When we make it to the promised land
[A]Walk together, little children
[D]We won't ever have to worry
[A]Through this world of trouble
[D]We gotta love one another
[A]Let us take our [D]fellow man by the hand
[A]Try to help him to understand
[E]We can all be [A]together, forever and ever
[D]When we make it to the promised land
[A]We can all be [D]together, forever and ever
[A]When we make it to the promised land
