For all the time that you kept us enslaved
And all the backbreaking labor you gave
Forget your hardened heart, my friend, for goodness sake,
‘Cuz you don’t want to bring on all of these plagues

A few hundred years is quite enough
And through it all we didn’t give up our faith and tradition
You can’t stop our mission
We’re ready to be movin’ on
To the land of milk and honey, we’re not gonna look back,
Pharaoh, you should know that

Our G-d’s gonna smite you with blood and lice and frogs
Until you free us, ‘cause slavery is wrong
You’ve taken quite a heavy blow and there are seven plagues to go
We must embark
Before you end up in the dark

So if you like the way your kingdom looks
Pharaoh, you should let my people go
And if you’re thinking of still holding on
Well, Pharaoh, you should let my people go

We gotta go, pack up quickly, did you hear the new decree
It said we’re no longer welcome in Egypt, we’re walking free
All of those years laying bricks led us here to this destiny
Part of the plan for the land we were promised

Sing out like we’re crossing the red sea
‘Cuz we travel back relive our history
When you believe, you’re part of the story
Yeah we crossed the water but on dry ground
So let’s go celebrate Pesach now!

Story
Our Story
Story

Yeah we crossed the water but on dry ground
So let’s go celebrate Pesach now!

Why do we lean
Eating matzah and herbs, drinking four cups of wine
That’s why we lean
Ask four questions and dip, no way we’ll finish by nine

When you believe, you’re part of the story
