[Slaves] With the sting of the whip on my shoulder With the of my sweat on my brow Elohim, God on high Can you hear your people cry: Help us now This dark hour...
Deliver us Hear our Deliver us Lord of all Remember us, here in this burning sand
Deliver us There's a land you promised us Deliver us to the promised land...
[Yocheved] Yal-di ha-tov veh ha-rach (My good and 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 that you may live I pray we'll meet again If He will deliver us
[Slaves] Deliver us Hear our prayer us From despair These 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] now, my baby Be still, love, don't cry Sleep as you're rocked by the stream Sleep and remember my last lullaby So I'll be with you when you dream
River, o river Flow gently me Such precious cargo you bear Do you know somewhere he can live free? River, deliver him
[Young Miriam] Brother, you're safe now And safe may you stay For I have a prayer just for you: Grow, baby brother Come back someday Come deliver us, too...
[Slaves] Deliver us Send a shepherd to shepherd us And deliver us to the promised land
