When You Believe: Music from 'The Prince of Egypt' Page #2

---

- What?

- Be-

- They never told you?

- Who never told me what?

But you're here.

You must know.

- Be careful, slave!

- Oh, my good prince.

Um, she's-she's exhausted

from the day's work.

Uh, not that it

was too much.

We- We quite

enjoyed it.

But-But she's confused

and knows not to whom she speaks.

I know to whom I speak, Aaron.

I know who you are.

- You are not a prince of Egypt.

- Miriam.

- What did you say?

- Your Highness, pay her no heed.

C- Come, Miriam.

May I discuss something with you?

No, Aaron. No!

Please, Moses, you must believe!

- That's enough.

- You were born of my mother, Yocheved.

- Stop it.

- You are our brother!

Now you go too far.

You shall be punished.

No! Please, uh,

Your Highness.

She's ill. She's very ill.

We beg your forgiveness.

- Please, Miriam, let us go.

- No, Aaron.

Our mother set you adrift

in a basket to save your life!

Save my life?

From who?

Ask the man

that you call "Father. "

- How dare you?

- God saved you to be our deliverer.

- Enough of this.

- And you are, Moses. You are the deliverer.

I said, enough!

You will regret

this night.

# Hush now, my baby #

# Be still, love

Don't cry #

# Sleep

as you're rocked #

# By the stream #

# Sleep and remember #

# My last lullaby #

# So I'll be with you #

# When you dream ##

Did you see him? It's Moses.

# Gleaming in the moonlight #

# Cool and clean

and all I've ever known #

# All I ever wanted #

# Sweet perfumes

of incense #

# And graceful rooms

of alabaster stone #

# All I ever wanted #

# This is my home #

# With my father

mother, brother #

# Oh, so noble

Oh, so strong #

# Now I am home #

# Here among my trappings

and belongings #

# I belong #

# And if anybody doubts it #

# They couldn't

be more wrong #

# I am a sovereign

prince of Egypt #

# A son of the proud history

that's shown #

# Etched on every wall #

# Surely this is all

I ever wanted #

# All I ever wanted #

# All I ever #

# Wanted ##

The Hebrews grew

too numerous.

They might have risen

against us.

Father, tell me

you didn't do this.

Moses,

sometimes,

for the greater good,

sacrifices must be made.

Sacrifices?

Oh, my son.

They were only slaves.

Moses?

Is this where

you found me?

Moses, please try

to understand.

So- So everything

I thought,

everything I am,

is a lie.

No.

You are our son,

and we love you.

Why did you choose me?

We didn't, Moses.

The gods did.

# This is your home

my son #

# Here the river

brought you #

# And it's here

the river meant #

# To be your home #

# Now you know

the truth, love #

# Now forget

and be content #

# When the gods

send you a blessing #

# You don't ask why

it was sent ##

Last night, the gods

granted me a vision.

I'm not merely going to restore

this temple, I will make it more grand,

more splendid

than any other one in Egypt.

Aah.

- Get up!

- Aah!

Moses! Look.

Fate has turned our little misadventure

into a great opportunity.

- Get up, old man!

- Father will be so pleased-

Put your back into it!

Faster!

This is &ust

the beginning.

A gateway will open to an entire

new city of white limestone,

more dazzling

than the sun.

And here, a statue of Hapi.

I said, hurry!

- ... two great column halls.

- Stop it!

- Somebody's got to stop this!

- There's nothing we can do.

Stop it.

Stop. Stop it!

- Leave that man alone!

- Moses!

Out of my way.

Out of my way. Move!

Who did this?

Up there! It's him.

Up there.

Moses!

Moses, what's going on?

Moses!

Moses!

- Moses!

- Let me go!

- No, wait. - You saw what happened.

I &ust killed a man.

We can take care

of that.

I will make it

so it never happened.

Nothing you can say

can change what I've done.

I am Egypt, the morning

and the evening star.

If I say day is night,

it will be written,

and you will be

what I say you are.

I say you are innocent.

What you say does not matter.

You don't understand.

I can't stay here

any longer.

- Moses!

- No!

All I've ever known

to be true is a lie.

I'm not who

you think I am.

What are you

talking about?

Go ask the man

I once called "Father. "

Moses?

Please.

Good-bye, brother.

Moses!

Moses!

No.

Aah!

Aaah!

Hey, wait.

Please.

Ohh!

Oh!

What are you doing?

- Help!

- Let our sheep drink!

Leave us alone!

Get away!

Stop it!

My father's

the high priest of Midian.

You're going to be

in big trouble.

- Aah!

- Hey, you.

Aren't these

your camels?

- Hut-hut!

- No, no! No, no!

- Wait!

- Wait, stop!

Whoa!

What are you girls

doing?

We're trying to get the funny man

out of the well.

Trying to get the funny man

out of the well.

- Well, that's one

I've never heard before.

Oh, my.

Oh, uh, don't worry down there!

Uh, we'll get you out.

Hold on!

You.

Huh?

Ohh!

Mm-hmm.

That's why Papa says

she'll never get married.

You don't have to do this. Ladies,

please, I'm really- I'm really quite-

No, not there, please.

That tickles. Ladies,

you've cleaned every inch of me.

Whoa, I- I was wrong.

Let me through. Let me through.

I want to see him.

Ah! You are most welcome.

You should not be

a stranger in this land.

You have been sent

as a blessing.

Tonight, you shall be my honored guest.

My father, ðro,

High Priest of Midian.

Psst. Sit with me.

Um, all right.

Psst. Not yet.

- Oh, sorry.

- My children,

let us give thanks

for this bountiful food.

And let us also give thanks

for the presence...

of this brave, young man

whom we honor here tonight.

Please, sir, I wish you wouldn't.

I've done nothing in my life

worth honoring.

First, you rescue Tzipporah

from Egypt,

- then you defend my younger

daughters from brigands.

You think that is nothing?

It seems you do not know

what is worthy of honor.

# A single thread

in a tapestry #

# Though its color

brightly shine #

# Can never see

its purpose #

# In a pattern

of the grand design #

# And the stone that sits

on the very top #

# Of the mountain's

mighty face #

# Does it think

it's more important #

# Than the stones

that form the base #

# So how can you see

what your life is worth #

# Or where

your value lies #

# You can never see

through the eyes of man #

# You must look

at your life #

# Look at your life

through heaven's eyes #

# La-la-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la #

# La, la-la-la-la-la-la #

# La-la-la-la-la-la #

- # Lai-lai-lai, lai-lai-lai-lai

Lai-lai-lai, lai-lai-la # - Dance with me.

No, I don't know how.

# A lake of gold

in the desert sand #

# Is less than

a cool, fresh spring #

# And to one lost sheep

a shepherd boy #

# Is greater

than the richest king #

# If a man lose

everything he owns #

# Has he truly

lost his worth #

# Or is it the beginning #

# Of a new and brighter birth #

# So how do you measure

the worth of a man #

# In wealth or strength

or size #

# In how much he gained

or how much he gave #

# The answer will come #

# The answer will come

to him who tries #

# To look at his life
