lyrics

To Pharaoh’s land
A good man came
Moses was his name
Moses was his name

In those ancient days
The Jews were slaves
Under Egyptian reign
Egyptian reign

A nation of men and women
Children and livestock
They followed Moses
Into the desert’s heart

And he said unto them
“Remember you this day
When with God’s aid
You escaped”

Into the wilderness
They walked all day
Not far behind
Went Pharaoh’s army

***

Across the sands
They journeyed on
Until they saw
The sea’s horizon

And Pharaoh’s chariots
And arméd men
Made a great din
Not far behind

***

And the people said:

“Are we to perish
Under the sun
So close to freedom
So far from home?”

And stretching a hand
Out over the waves
Our good man said
The following:

“Let the sea open
Like a wounded heart
And we’ll walk through with love
And we’ll walk through with love

Then let the sea close
Like a mended heart
And all the soldiers will drown
And all the soldiers will drown”
