Moses in a basket
Floating on the Nile
Pharaoh's daughter finds him
Saves him for a while
Grows up in the palace
Learns Egypt's ways
Sees his people suffer
Can't look away
Let my people go
Free them from the chains
Lead them through the desert
Cross the parted waves
Burning bush is calling
Voice of God so clear
Moses you must lead them
Overcome your fear
Plagues upon the kingdom
Pharaoh's heart is stone
Finally he crumbles
The Hebrews travel on
Let my people go
Free them from the chains
Lead them through the desert
Cross the parted waves
Through the Red Sea parted
Faith will guide the way
With a pillar of fire
We'll find a brand new day
Forty years of wandering
Promises to keep
Manna from the heavens
In the desert deep
Mount Sinai's thunder
Commandments carved in stone
Moses stands in reverence
Before God's holy throne
Let my people go
Free them from the chains
Lead them through the desert
Cross the parted waves
Moses, guide us onward
To the promised land
With faith and hope unyielding
We'll follow God's command
