original west end cast of the prince of egypt - act i finale lyrics

[high priest hotep & ensemble]
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

[pharaoh 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]
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 & seti]
this is who you will be
the rest of your long life through

[nefertari & seti & queen 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

[ensemble & (moses, spoken)]
moses…
moses…
behold a bush that burns with fire
but is not consumed
(what do you want with me?)
take your sandals from your feet for you stand on holy ground
(who are you?)
i am that i am
(i don’t understand.)
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 out of their 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

[moses & tzipporah & nefertari & (seti & rameses)]
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, and strength)

[ensemble] (inaudible part)
now this life that was yours (all that was yours)
belongs not only to you (will also belong to me)
now you know what you must be (life and strength)
now you know what you must do (now it’s up 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)

[both]
all i ever wanted?

[rameses & (moses)]
so much rests on me now
(so much rests on me now)
this is vast responsibility
(isn’t this the thing i said was)

[both]
all i ever wanted?
all that i ever
wanted

[ensemble, & (moses & rameses)]
deliver us
hear our call, deliver us
lord of all, 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 (will be all i ever wanted)
deliver us (deliver me!)
to the promised land (to the promised land)
