Lyrics:
Sometimes I feel
As if I'm still stuck in Egypt
The journey is long and narrow
They're oppressing my dreams
Telling me I can't
Seems, yeah I got my own Pharaoh
But I believe we'll beat'em
Passover and defeat'em
Pave a path
So we can be free
What's been handed down to me
For generations
Is love and identity
See, my community
All around the world
Never left me
Out in the cold
Taught me
That this too shall pass
And to
Never be to shy to ask
Four questions
Only the beginning
Perspective comes
From this way of living
We're all connected
So love and respect it
Pay it forward
And keep asking' why
Welcome the stranger
Love thy neighbor
Just be grateful
To be alive
Chorus:
So come now my brothers and sisters
As We pass the cup
We'll toast to our past and we'll toast to our parents
Who taught us to never no never give up
Let's toast to each other and toast to our future
The struggles that we'll overcome
So come now my brothers and sisters
You can find love in every one
Remember our people so weak but inspired
Exodus from Egypt and marching to Zion
Today it still continues as we follow the fires
Yes we wear it proudly like untamed manes of lions
So here we go again across the sands
On a new journey into the hearts of men
And make them see
Just because we're free
Doesn't mean its over
Plenty other people still look over their shoulder
Expecting to see a whip or a gun
Afraid of the darkness afraid of the sun
And we the sons of Jacob know that war can be spiritual
Bullets metaphysical, is the the hunger still in you?
Cause crisis keeps building as we let the days go by
One more person lost their soul
One more childhood dream dies
So join with me / Plant the seed
Do the work / Let them see
Live the life/ Feed the soul
Walk the path / Heal the world
