Deliver Us

Mud! Sand! Water! Straw! Faster! Mud! And lift! Sand! And pull! Water! And raise up! Straw! Faster! Feel the sting of the whip on my shoulder With the salt of my sweat on my brow Elohim, adonai, 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. Yaldi hatov ve'harach Al tira ve'al tifh'ad 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, deliver us! From these famished years as slaves, we've grown too old to stand Deliver us! There's a land you promised us! Deliver us from the 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 be free? River, deliver him there Deliver us! Send a shepherd to shepherd us! And deliver us to the promised land! Deliver us to the promised land! Deliver us!
