歌詞

With the sting of the whip on my shoulder 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 (deliver us) Hear our call Deliver us (deliver us) Lord of all Remember us, here in this burning sand Deliver us (deliver us) There's a land you promised us (you promised us) Deliver us to the promised land Gleaming in the moonlight Cool and clean and all I've ever known All I ever wanted Sweet perfumes of incense Graceful rooms of alabaster stone All I ever wanted Now I am home Here among my trappings and belongings I belong And if anybody doubts it They couldn't be more wrong I am a sovereign prince of Egypt A son of the proud history that's shown Etched on ev'ry wall Surely this is all I ever wanted All I ever wanted All I ever wanted (Thus saith the Lord, Thus saith the Lord) Since you refuse to free my people (Thus saith the Lord, Thus saith the Lord) All through the land of Egypt I send a pestilence and plague Into your house, into your bed Into your streams, into your streets Into your drink, into your bread Upon your cattle, on your sheep Upon your oxen in your field Into your dreams, into your sleep Until you break, until you yield I send my scourge, I send my sword Let my people go (thus saith the Lord) I will not let (let my) your people go Lai-la-lai-lai-lee-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai-lai La-lai-lai-lai-lai-lai-lee-lai-lai A lake of gold in the desert sand Is less than a cool fresh spring And the one lost sheep, a shepherd boy Is greater than the richest king If a man loses everything he owns Has he truly lost his worth? Or is it the beginning Of a new and brighter birth? No life can escape being blown about By the winds of change and chance And though you never know all the steps (all the steps) You must learn to join the dance You must learn to join the dance Lai-la-lai-lai-lee-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai-lai La-lai-lai-lai-lai-lai-lee-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai-lai-lai-lai-lai Lai-la-lai-lai-lee-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai-lai La-lai-lai-lai-lai-lai-lee-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai-lai (lai-lai-lai-lai) So how do you judge what a man is worth By what he builds or buys? You can never see with your eyes on earth Look through heaven's eyes (look through heaven's eyes) Look at your life (look at your life) Look at your life (look at your life) Look at your life through heaven's eyes Lai-la-lai-lai-lee-lai-lai Lai-lai-lai-lai-lai Many nights we've prayed With no proof anyone could hear In our hearts a hopeful song We barely understood Now we are not afraid Although we know there's much to fear We were moving mountains long before we knew we could There can be miracles When you believe (when you believe) Though hope is frail It's hard to kill (it's hard to kill) Who knows what miracles You can achieve (you can achieve) When you believe Somehow you will You will when you believe A-shir-ra I'a-do-nai ki ga-oh ga-ah A-shir-ra I'a-do-nai ki ga-oh ga-ah Mi-cha-mo-cha ba-e-lim adonai Mi-cha-mo-cha ne-dar-ba-ko-desh Na-chi-tah v'-chas-d'-cha am zu ga-al-ta Na-chi-tah v'-chas-d'-cha am zu ga-al-ta A-shi-ra, a-shi-ra, A-shi-ra There can be miracles When you believe (when you believe) Though hope is frail It's hard to kill (it's hard to kill) Who knows what miracles You can achieve (you can achieve) When you believe Somehow you will Now you will You will when you believe When you believe You will when you (you will) believe Yal-di ha-tov veh ha-rach Al ti-ra veh al tif-chad 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 (deliver us) From despair These years of slavery grow Too cruel to stand Deliver us (deliver us) Send a shepherd to shepherd us And deliver us to the promised land Deliver us to the promise land Deliver us
