Watkins Family Hour - Miles of Desert Sand Lyrics

Years of trouble here that bind us
Danger closing in
All we know we leave behind us
And we won't go back again
Oh my brother come and take my hand
We'll walk together 'till we reach that promise land
All the sorrow and the pain here
Are greater than the miles of desert sand

In the land of milk and honey
There's fruit on every tree
Our feet blistered and bloody
But our children will be free
Oh my sister come and take my hand
We'll walk together into that promise land
All the pain we left behind us
Is greater than the miles of desert sand
Greater than the miles
