In shadowed lands where chains were bound
A people toiled on hallowed ground
Through Pharaoh’s will, their cries were drowned
Yet heaven heard the silent sound
A people toiled on hallowed ground
Through Pharaoh’s will, their cries were drowned
Yet heaven heard the silent sound
By blood-stained doors and moonlit sky
A whisper rose, a weary sigh
The night was long, yet hope burned bright
A voice of faith defied the night
A whisper rose, a weary sigh
The night was long, yet hope burned bright
A voice of faith defied the night
The waters parted, winds did call
A path was carved, despite the fall
Through deserts vast and skies so wide
The bound became the sanctified
A path was carved, despite the fall
Through deserts vast and skies so wide
The bound became the sanctified
Manna fell as morning’s grace
Each step a trial, yet no disgrace
A law was given, etched in stone
No slave, but free—His will was known
Each step a trial, yet no disgrace
A law was given, etched in stone
No slave, but free—His will was known
But freedom asks for more than flight
It seeks the truth within the night
Not only chains, but hearts must break
To cast aside what fear may make
It seeks the truth within the night
Not only chains, but hearts must break
To cast aside what fear may make
So as we sit in candle’s glow
We taste the tears of long ago
Not just a story, not just a tale
But a call to rise, to never fail
We taste the tears of long ago
Not just a story, not just a tale
But a call to rise, to never fail
For every exile, every pain
A promise whispers once again
The chains of time may twist and bend
Yet freedom’s light will never end.
A promise whispers once again
The chains of time may twist and bend
Yet freedom’s light will never end.
