Lyrics

[HOTEP & PRIESTS] Hail, sons of Ra Say unto him who lifts his arm in the east That the king is coming as a god That the king stands in the palace of the horizon Behold, he comes Behold, he comes... [SETI, spoken] My son, our people and our dynasty are now in your hands... [RAMESES] No weak link ever shall break our chain No weak king ever shall end our reign Father, I promise you I will meet every task Father, I swear I'll do All you would hope or ask... [SETI, spoken] Then, I am not afraid [NEFERTARI, spoken] Your Majesty. Lord of the two lands. Your queen kneels before you (sung) This is why you were born This is what you were made for [NEFERTARI & HOTEP] This is who you will be The rest of your long life through [NEFERTARI, HOTEP, & TUYA] Now this life that was yours Belongs not only to you Now you know what you must be Now you know what you must do... [Chorus] Moses... Moses... Behold a bush that burns with fire But is not consumed [MOSES, spoken] What do you want with me? [Chorus] Take the sandals from your feet For you stand on holy ground... [MOSES, spoken] Who are you? [Chorus] I Am That I Am [MOSES, spoken] I don't understand [Chorus] I am the God of your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob I have heard the cry of My people In oppression in Egypt Now I will send forth a messenger To deliver them up out of bondage To a land of milk and honey Now I send you! [MOSES, sung] Was that a miracle? Hard to believe But I know what my ears heard What my eyes seemed to see And even if I dreamed it How can I live Knowing my people anguish While only I am free? I saw a miracle And now it's up to me [TZIPPORAH, spoken] Well, of course. I'm not going to let you go alone [MOSES, spoken] I promise we'll come back when it's done. This is something I must do [TZIPPORAH] I know [TZIPPORAH & JETHRO, PRIESTS] This is why you were born This is why you were born This is what you were made for This is what you were made for This is who you will be This is who, you will be The rest of your long life through Long life! Health! Strength! [CHORUS 1, CHORUS 2] Now this life that was yours O mighty Ramses Miamum Belongs not only to you O mighty Pharaoh Now you know what you must be Life! Health! Strength Now you know what you must do Life! Health! Strength to you [RAMESES, MOSES] Now my life is changing Now my life is changing Will life from now on turn out to be Will this strange new path ahead be All I ever wanted? All I ever wanted? So much rests on me now So much rests on me now Is this vast responsibility Isn't this the thing I said was All I ever wanted? All I ever wanted? All that I ever All that I ever [CHORUS, MOSES & RAMESES] Deliver us Wanted Ahhhh, deliver us Ahhhh, remember us Here in this burning sand Will my new life be Deliver us All I ever wanted? There's a land You promised us All I ever wanted Deliver us To the Promised Land And will all I ever wanted Deliver us Deliver me To the Promised Land To the Promised Land?
