The sun is shining the children smiling As they walk along the golden sand The chosen people have climbed the steeple On their way to the promised land Across the river away from sorrow And on to freedom where there's peace of mind Someone beside them someone to guide them On their way to the promised land And by the river I'll be with you all the way Break: And by the river I'll be with you all the way There's milk and honey it's always sunny The people sing with their head in hand And soon their patience will be rewarded And they shall walk in the promised land And by the river I'll be with you all the way The sun is shining the children smiling As they walk along the golden sand The chosen people have climbed the steeple On their way to the promised land And by the river I'll be with you all the way The sun is shining the children smiling As they walk along the golden sand The chosen people have climbed the steeple On their way to the promised land And by the river I'll be with you all the way
