Egypts to Leave
Mark Aaron James
Ruach 5767

It's not about rebuilding time, or just "Let my people go."
That's history, that's theatre, that's not always life.
It's about what you believe. 
We all have our own Egypts to leave

Don't turn away the stranger, for now you know the stranger's heart From history, from theatre, sometimes that's life.
It comes down to what you believe
We all have our own Egypts to leave

CHORUS:  We look back in order to look forward
              We see that we are among redemptions,
              Acts of freedom and births of possibility
              We might not have seen.
              We all have our own Egypts to leave.

Why's it this way, why on this night,
Why not that way, why not upright?
'Cause of what he did for me,
And to show him we believe. 
We all have our own Egypt to leave

CHORUS:  We look back in order to look forward
              We see that we are among redemptions,
              Acts of freedom and births of possibility
              We might not have seen.
              We all have our own Egypts to leave.

Why's it this way, why on this night,
Why not that way, why not upright?

CHORUS:  We look back in order to look forward
              We see that we are among redemptions,
              Acts of freedom and births of possibility
              We might not have seen.
              We all have our own Egypts to leave.
