Going to the Promised Land
Lyrics by Lisa Baydush, Music by Lisa Baydush and Lisa Ashery © 11/13/14
Teaching tip from the songwriter:
Remind students about Passover story; ask them where the Israelites were going? Do they
know another name for the Promised Land? Continue the narrative and act out being the
Israelites walking to the Promised Land…. hold hands and walk/jump/dance/sing!
Lyrics:
We’re going, we’re going, we’re going to the Promised Land!
We’re going, we’re going to the Promised Land!
Walking, skipping, running, jumping, dancing…
Hurray, hurray! Thank you, God, for this day!
Hurray, hurray! We’re finally free today
