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
