[Verse 1]
Water in the well been poisoned with lie
Weepin' in the Promised Land
Satan's dark angels are fallin' from the sky
Weepin' in the Promised Land
Children of God, he turns into stone
Sick and the weak, he dancin' on their bone
Pharoah shoutin' down the medicine man
Weepin' in the Promised Land

[Verse 2]
Forked-tongued pharaoh, behold he comes to speak
Weepin' in the Promised Land
Hissin' and spewin', it's power that he seek
Weepin' in the Promised Land
With dread in their eyes all the nurses are cryin'
So much sorrow, so much dyin'
Pharoah keep a-preachin' but he never had a plan
Weepin' in the Promised Land
Weepin' in the Promised Land

[Chorus]
You say, weepin', weepin'
Weepin' in the Promised Land
You say, weepin', weepin'
Weepin' in the Promised Land
