[Slaves] With the sting of the whip on my shoulder With the salt of my sweat on my brow Elohim, God on high Can you hear your people cry: Help us This dark hour...
Deliver us Hear our call Deliver us Lord of all Remember us, here this burning sand
Deliver us There's a land you promised us Deliver us to the promised land...
Yal-di ha-tov veh ha-rach (My good and tender son) Al ti-ra veh al tif-chad (Don't be frightened and don't be scared) My son, I have nothing I can give But this chance you may live I pray we'll meet again If He will deliver us
[Slaves] Deliver us Hear our prayer Deliver us From despair years of slavery grow too cruel to stand Deliver us There's a land you promised us Deliver us Out of bondage and Deliver us to the promised land...
[Yocheved] Hush now, my baby Be still, love, don't cry Sleep as you're rocked by the stream Sleep remember my last lullaby So I'll be with you when you dream
River, o river Flow gently for me Such precious cargo you Do you know somewhere he can free? River, deliver him there...
[Young Miriam] Brother, you're safe now And safe may you stay For I have a prayer just for you: Grow, baby Come back someday Come and deliver us, too...
[Slaves] Deliver us Send a shepherd to shepherd us And deliver us to the promised land
