[Verse]
D
I left my ball and chain behind me
D
Every burden, every weight
D
I changed my name to freedom
D
From prisoner and slave
G
I Stood up to my oppressors
G
Shook the shackles off my hands
D
I’m going down,to the Promised Land

[Verse]
D
I’m dusting off the desert
D
I’m silencing my doubt
D
The one who goes before me
D
Is the one who lead me out
G
With fire in the darkness
G
With footprints in the sand
D
I’m going down, to the Promised Land

[Verse]
D
I’m not just getting out of Egypt
D
Egypt’s getting out of me
D
I can see those walls of Jericho
A
In pieces at my feet
D
I can ta-ste that milk and honey
G
From the wilderness I am
D
Going down, down, down to the Promised Land
