[HOTEP & PRIESTS]
Hail, sons of Ra
Say unto him who lifts his arm in the east
That the king is coming as a god
That the king stands in the palace of the horizon
Behold, he comes
Behold, he comes...

[SETI, spoken]
My son, our people and our dynasty are now in your hands...

[RAMESES]
No weak link ever shall break our chain
No weak king ever shall end our reign
Father, I promise you
I will meet every task
Father, I swear I’ll do
All you would hope or ask...

[SETI, spoken]
Then, I am not afraid

[NEFERTARI, spoken]
Your Majesty. Lord of the two lands. Your queen kneels before you

(sung)
This is why you were born
This is what you were made for
[NEFERTARI & HOTEP]
This is who you will be
The rest of your long life through

[NEFERTARI, HOTEP, & TUYA]
Now this life that was yours
Belongs not only to you
Now you know what you must be
Now you know what you must do...

[Chorus]
Moses...
Moses...
Behold a bush that burns with fire
But is not consumed

[MOSES, spoken]
What do you want with me?

[Chorus]
Take the sandals from your feet
For you stand on holy ground...

[MOSES, spoken]
Who are you?
[Chorus]
I Am That I Am

[MOSES, spoken]
I don’t understand

[Chorus]
I am the God of your ancestors
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
I have heard the cry of My people
In oppression in Egypt
Now I will send forth a messenger
To deliver them up out of bondage
To a land of milk and honey
Now I send you!

[MOSES, sung]
Was that a miracle?
Hard to believe
But I know what my ears heard
What my eyes seemed to see
And even if I dreamed it
How can I live
Knowing my people anguish
While only I am free?
I saw a miracle
And now it’s up to me
[TZIPPORAH, spoken]
Well, of course. I’m not going to let you go alone

[MOSES, spoken]
I promise we’ll come back when it’s done. This is something I must do

[TZIPPORAH]
I know

[TZIPPORAH & JETHRO, PRIESTS]
This is why you were born This is why you were born
This is what you were made for This is what you were made for
This is who you will be This is who, you will be
The rest of your long life through Long life! Health! Strength!

[CHORUS 1, CHORUS 2]
Now this life that was yours O mighty Ramses Miamum
Belongs not only to you O mighty Pharaoh
Now you know what you must be Life! Health! Strength
Now you know what you must do Life! Health! Strength to you

[RAMESES, MOSES]
Now my life is changing Now my life is changing
Will life from now on turn out to be Will this strange new path ahead be
All I ever wanted? All I ever wanted?
So much rests on me now So much rests on me now
Is this vast responsibility Isn't this the thing I said was
All I ever wanted? All I ever wanted?
All that I ever All that I ever

[CHORUS, MOSES & RAMESES]
Deliver us Wanted
Ahhhh, deliver us
Ahhhh, remember us
Here in this burning sand Will my new life be
Deliver us All I ever wanted?
There's a land You promised us All I ever wanted
Deliver us
To the Promised Land And will all I ever wanted
Deliver us Deliver me
To the Promised Land To the Promised Land?
