# Mud, and lift #

# With the sting

of the whip #

- # On my shoulder #

- Aah!

# With the salt 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 call

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 #

# My son

I have nothing I can give #

# But this chance

that you may live #

# I pray

we'll meet again #

- # If He will deliver us #

- # Deliver us #

- # Hear our prayer #

- Ohh!

- # Deliver 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 #

# Hush 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, oh, river #

# Flow gently for me #

# Such precious cargo #

# You bear #

# Do you know somewhere #

# He can live free #

# River #

# Deliver him there #

# Brother #

# You're safe now

and safe may you stay #

# For I have a prayer

&ust for you #

# Grow, baby brother #

- # Come back someday #

- Mmm.

# Come and deliver us too #

Mommy!

Come, Rameses. We will show Pharaoh

your new baby brother-

Moses.

# Deliver us #

# Send a shepherd

to shepherd us #

# And deliver us #

# To the Promised Land #

# Deliver us #

# To the Promised #

# Land #

# Deliver us ##

- Ha, ha!

- Faster, you beasts!

You run like mules.

- Hey, Rameses, how'd you like your

face carved on a wall? - Someday, yes.

How about now?

You almost killed me!

Oh, come on.

Where's your sense of fun?

Oh, it's fun you want?

Whoa!

Whoa! Aah!

Ohh. Moses?

Whoa!

Whoa!

Whoa!

Come on, you.

Whoa!

Come on, Moses. Admit it.

You've always looked up to me.

Yes, but it's

not much of a view.

Hyah! Whoo!

Hey!

- Second born, second place.

- Not for long.

Whoa!

- Whoa!

- Aah! Aaah!

&ump!

Whoa!

Whoo!

You don't think we'll

get in trouble for this, do you?

No, not a chance.

Why do the gods

torment me...

with such reckless,

destructive,

- blasphemous sons?

- Father, hear what I-

Be still!

Pharaoh speaks.

I seek to build

an empire,

and your only thought

is to amuse yourselves...

by tearing it down.

Have I taught you nothing?

You mustn't be so hard on yourself, Your

Ma&esty. You're an excellent teacher.

It's not your fault

your sons learned nothing.

- They learned blasphemy.

- True.

Father,

the fault is mine.

I goaded Rameses on,

and so I am responsible.

Hmm.

Responsible.

Do you know the meaning

of that word, Rameses?

I understand, Father.

And do you understand the task for which

your birth has destined you?

The ancient traditions.

When I pass

into the next world,

then you will be

the morning and evening star.

One damaged temple does not

destroy centuries of tradition.

But one weak link

can break the chain...

of a mighty dynasty!

You have my leave to go.

Father.

Father?

You know it was

really my fault.

Must you be

so hard on him?

Moses, you will never

have to carry a burden...

like the crown

I will pass to Rameses.

He must not allow himself

to be led astray,

not even by you, my son.

All he cares about is-
