Egypt Songtext
von Bryn Haworth

I don′t wanna go back to Egypt
I wanna live in the Promised Land.
I don't wanna go back to Egypt
I wanna live in the Promised Land.
Hey child do you remember
All those things that you used to do
All those empty so called pleasures
Well they still keep calling you,
And the voice that comes to tempt you
It just won′t let the old man die,
So when he asks those same old
Questions
You just give him the same reply.
I don't wanna go back to Egypt
I wanna live in the Promised Land.
I don't wanna go back to Egypt
I wanna live in the Promised Land.
I was standing in the kitchen
Just listening to my radio
The day was dark and dreary


And I was feeling kind of low;
That′s when satan came up behind me
Whispering loudly in my ear,
So I sung this song up to him
And I watched him disappear.
′Cause I don't wanna go back to Egypt
I wanna live in the Promised Land.
I don′t wanna go back to Egypt
I wanna live in the Promised Land.
Well I started on this journey
Now I'm going through the wilderness
Everything has been provided
And God still hasn′t failed me yet;
When I look at where I've come from
Compared to where I′m going to,
I think I like what I've got better
So I'll keep that Land in view.
I don′t wanna go back to Egypt
I wanna live in the Promised Land.
I don′t wanna go back to Egypt
I wanna live in the Promised Land.
I don't wanna go back to Egypt
I wanna live in the Promised Land.
I don′t wanna go back to Egypt
I wanna live in the Promised Land.
