Let My People Go

Remember when we rode in the sand?
Our chariots colliding
We ruled the land.

Remember when I got you in trouble?
I thought it was funny
You made father bubble.

Remember when I took off that night?
The truth unfolded
I was coated in fright.

Remember when I questioned my life?
Those words that they spoke
Stuck like a knife.

Remember when I killed that man?
In fear and panic
From you I ran.

I remember when she took me in
While I was consumed
By deadly sin.

I remember when he opened my eyes
And my cries were lifted
To the skies.

I remember when the bush was red
God was there
And he said:

Holy ground you tread upon,
Take off your shoes and listen.
It is I, your God, deliver them,
Make their free eyes glisten.

So here I am confronting you
My brother,
Please stay true.

I only have one single request
With this knowledge
I have been blessed

The innocent suffer under your blow,
Please let it be so,
Let my people go.
