Lau Pirates - Promise Land

Recorded in Lau Lagoon, Solomon Islands, April 2012
Lyrics:
The remnant pirates are standing
On the island made of the broken rocks
Surrounded by the sea
That's only what we depend on for our survival
Let's kneel down and pray
Father Abraham
Brother Isaac
Here we are still waiting for,
Waiting for our Promise Land
Mama don't stop me crying
Father Abraham
Brother Isaac
Here we are still crying for,
Crying for your forgiveness
The sun keeps on rising
While our island's slowly fading away
Our innocent children are swimming
With nothing to hold on to but themselves
Let's kneel down and pray
Father Abraham
Brother Isaac
Here we are still waiting for,
Waiting for our Promise Land
Mama don't stop me crying
Father Abraham
Brother Isaac
Here we are still crying for,
Crying for your forgiveness
Here we are still standing on,
Standing on the kingdom come
Here we are still standing on,
Standing on the kingdom come
Lau Pirates are:
