Lyrics : Act II Finale
It’s the Egyptian army. Rameses betrayed us–it was a trap!
What are you going to do, Moses?
I don’t know
Many nights we prayed, with no proof anyone could hear
All at once an answer came, in ways we never planned
So we are not afraid, for we’ve seen miracles appear
Is there one more miracle?
Is there one more miracle if I stretch forth my hand?
Deliver us
Now Your will, deliver us
And until the end of history
Will this day be sung
Ah-ah-ahh
Ah-ah-ahh
Ah-ah-ahh
Ah-ah-ahh
Ah-ah-ahh
Ah-ah-ahh
Ah-ah-ahh
Your highness, the Hebrews are getting away. Order the soldiers to follow them into the sea!
One weak link can break the strongest chain
(There is still time to catch them)
One weak king can end the longest reign
(We can kill every one of them)
Although my worst fear is coming true
(Honour your father—take your vengeance!)
Is that one weak link
That one weak link
That one weak link
(This is why you came here!)
No!
This is why you were born
This is what you were made for
This is who you both will be
The rest of your long lives through
Now you know what you must be
Now you know what you must do
After the Hebrews!
No, I order you to stop!
They’re following me now!
By the power of Mut, Nut, Khnum, Ptah
Anubis, Anoukis, Hemsut, Tefnut, Meshket, Mafdet
Sobek, Sekhmet, Sokar, Serket
Ra!
Ah-ah-ahh
Ah-ah-ahh
Ah-ah-ahh
For the rest of my life
I don’t know what is to come
For the rest of my life
No ancient laws to show the way
But as each day I search for what to do
I’ll know there is a brother who is searching too
I’ll know there is a brother out there who
Can understand
Footprints on the sand
One day we will vanish
Like Footprints on the sand
Like echoes of a fading chime
Our bodies will be gone
But deeds can live on
For we can be both merely human and sublime
Oh, footprints on the sand
And footprints on the sands of time!
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will
(Footprints on the sand)
Now you will
(Footprints on the sand)
You will when you believe
(When you believe)
You will when you believe
What are you going to do, Moses?
I don’t know
Many nights we prayed, with no proof anyone could hear
All at once an answer came, in ways we never planned
So we are not afraid, for we’ve seen miracles appear
Is there one more miracle?
Is there one more miracle if I stretch forth my hand?
Deliver us
Now Your will, deliver us
And until the end of history
Will this day be sung
Ah-ah-ahh
Ah-ah-ahh
Ah-ah-ahh
Ah-ah-ahh
Ah-ah-ahh
Ah-ah-ahh
Ah-ah-ahh
