Got to wake up in the morning
I got to face another day
Got to make it thru the sunset
When freedom’s just a sail away
Out across the water

I have a friend, he’s got a plan
I think I’ll hitch my ride
Take my chances with the virgin
Anything is better than this
Out across the water
Out across the water

Out across the water
Lies the promised land
A place of milk and honey
Out across the water
Out across the water

A thousand voices in the darkness
There’s no one there to hear
Mothers, sisters, fathers and brothers
Brave souls all lost, I fear
Out across the water
Out across the water

Out across the water
Lies the promised land
A place of milk and honey
Out across the water
Out across the water
Out across the water...
