	When we meet the day What do you say, I breathe? What do you tell me to leave? What do you tell me? We will wait on the day It will be me And all we need on the day All that I need, we'll need We'll wait What took part of your stay? What do you tell me to leave? We'll let it start One time, one day We'll wait on the day What do you tell me to leave? We'll wait on the day We'll wait on the day One time, one day We'll wait on the day One time, one day We'll wait on the day.

about

The song 'Promised Land' by Nairobi Sisters featuring Judy Mowatt and Terri Nairobi is a beautiful and uplifting tribute to hope, perseverance, and the power of faith. The lyrics of this song invoke a sense of longing and determination, as well as a deep belief in the promise of a brighter future.

The opening lines, 'When we meet the day, what day? When we meet the day, what do you say I breathe?' immediately set the tone for the entire song. It speaks of a meeting, a coming together, and a sense of anticipation for something significant. The repetition of the question 'what day?' suggests that this day is something special, something to be celebrated and cherished.

As the song continues, the lyrics ask, 'What do you tell me to leave?' This line is open to interpretation, but it could be seen as a call to let go of any fears, doubts, or negative thoughts that may hold us back from reaching our goals. It could also be interpreted as a message to leave behind anything that no longer serves us and to focus on the promise of a better tomorrow.

The chorus of the song, 'We will wait on the day, there will be me and all we need on the day, all that I need, we'll need, we'll wait,' is a powerful affirmation of faith and determination. It speaks of waiting patiently for that promised day, knowing that all we need will be provided for us. It also emphasizes the idea of unity and togetherness, as the lyrics mention 'there will be me and all we need.' This suggests that we are not alone in our journey towards the promised land, and that we have each other for support and strength.

The verses of the song continue to build on this message of hope and perseverance. 'What took part of your stay, what do you tell me to leave? We'll let it start, one time, one day,' speaks of overcoming obstacles and starting anew. It encourages us to let go of past hurts or failures and to focus on the present moment, with the belief that one day, our dreams will come true.

The repetition of the line 'one time, one day, we'll wait on the day' throughout the song reinforces the idea of patience and faith. It reminds us that although we may not see the promised land right now, we must continue to wait and trust that it will come in its own time.

In conclusion, the lyrics of 'Promised Land' by Nairobi Sisters with Judy Mowatt and Terri Nairobi are not only correct, but they are also powerful and inspiring. They remind us to have faith in the promise of a brighter future and to never give up on our dreams. The song serves as a reminder that with patience, perseverance, and a strong sense of community, we can overcome any challenge and reach our own promised land.
