through heaven's eyes #

# And that's why we share

all we have with you #

# Though there's little

to be found #

# When all you've got

is nothing #

# There's a lot

to go around #

# No life can escape

being blown about #

# By the winds

of change and chance #

- # And though you never know

all the steps # - Dance with me.

- No, I- No. No!

- # You must learn to &oin the dance #

# So how do you &udge

what a man is worth #

# By what he builds

or buys #

# You can never see

# Look through

heaven's eyes #

Mmm.

I love you.

Ahh!

It's too early

for this.

Moses.

Moses.

Moses.

Here I am.

Take the sandals

from your feet,

for the place on which you stand

is holy ground.

Who are you?

I am that I am.

I don't understand.

I am the God of your ancestors,

Abraham, Isaac

and &acob.

You were born of my

mother, Yocheved. You are our brother.

What do You want

with me?

I have seen the oppression

of My people in Egypt...

and have heard their cry.

- Stop it!

Leave that man alone!

So I have come down

to deliver them out of slavery...

and bring them

to a good land,

a land flowing

with milk and honey.

And so, unto Pharaoh,

I shall send...

you.

Me? Wh-Who am I

to lead these people?

They'll never believe me.

They won't even listen.

I shall teach you

what to say.

Let my people go!

But I was their enemy.

I was the prince of Egypt, the son of

the man who slaughtered their children.

You've- You've chosen

the wrong messenger.

H- How can I even speak

to these people?

Who made man's mouth?

Who made the deaf, the mute,

the seeing or the blind?

Did not I?

Now go!

Oh, Moses,

I shall be with you when you

go to the king of Egypt.

But Pharaoh

will not listen.

So I will stretch out

My hand...

and smite Egypt...

with all My wonders.

Take the staff

in your hand, Moses.

With it,

you shall do My wonders.

I shall be with you,

Moses.

Moses.

Moses.

But, Moses,

you are &ust one man.

Tzipporah,

please.

Look at your family.

They are free.

They have a future.

They have hopes

and dreams...

and the promise

of a life with dignity.

That is what I want

for my people.

And that is why

I must do the task...

that God has given me.

I'm coming with you.

Rameses.

Moses?

Is it really?

Moses!

- Rameses!

- Where have you been? I took you for dead.

Look at you!

Pharaoh.

Well, look at you.

What on earth are you dressed as?

Oh, Rameses,

it's so good to see you.

Excuse me, Your Ma&esty.

We are compelled to remind you this man

committed a serious crime against the gods.

We are loathe

to bring it up, mind you.

The law clearly states

the punishment for such a crime-

- Death!

- We hesitate to say it.

Be still.

Pharaoh speaks.

I am the morning

and the evening star.

Rameses.

It shall be as I say.

I pardon forever all crimes

of which he stands accused...

and will have it known

that he is...

our brother Moses,

the prince of Egypt.

Rameses,

in my heart,

you are my brother,

but things cannot be

as they were.

I see no reason why not.

You know I am a Hebrew, and the God

of the Hebrews came to me.

What?

He commands that you

let His people go.

Commands?

Behold... the power of God.

Well, uh, impressive.

Hmm.

Very well, Moses.

I'll play along.

Hotep. Huy.

Give this snake charmer

our answer.

By the power of Ra.

Mut.

Nut.

- Khnum.

- Ptah.

- Nephthys.

- Nekhbet.

- Sobek.

- Sekhmet.

Sokar. Selket. Reshpu.

- Wad&et.

- Anubis.

- Anukis.

- Seshmu.

- Meshkent.

- Hemsut.

- Tefnut.

- Heket.

- Mafdet.

- Ra, Mut, Nut, Ptah.

Hemsut, Tefnut,

Sokar, Selket.

Seshmu, Reshpu,

Sobek, Wad&et.

Heket, Mafdet,

Nephthys, Nekhbet, Ra!

# So you think

you've got friends #

# In high places #

# With the power

to put us on the run #

# Well, forgive us

these smiles #

# On our faces #

# You'll know what power is

when we are done #

Son.

# You're playing

with the big boys now #

- # Playing with the big boys now #

- Oh, that's pretty.

- # Every spell and gesture #

- # Tells you who's the best #

# You're playing with

the big boys now #

# You're playing with

the big boys now. #

# Stop this

foolish mission #

# Watch a true magician #

# Give an exhibition how #

# Pick up your

silly twig, boy #

# You're playing with

the big boys now #

- Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Tefnut, Meshkent, Mafdet #

# You're playing with

the big boys now #

# By the might of Horus

you will kneel before us #

# Kneel to our

splendorous power #

- # You put up a front #

- # You put up a fight #

# And &ust to show

we feel no spite #

# You can be our acolyte #

- # But first, boy it's time to bow #

- # Kowtow #

# Or it's your own grave

you'll dig, boy #

# You're playing with

the big boys #

# Playing with the big boys

Playing with the big boys #

# Playing with

the big boys now ##

They love it.

All right, Moses.

I know you.

What's this really about?

Rameses, look.

What do you see?

A greater Egypt

than that of my father.

That is not

what I see.

Moses, I cannot

change what you see.

I have to maintain

the ancient traditions.

I bear the weight

of my father's crown.

Do you still not understand

what Seti was?

He was

a great leader.

His hands bore the blood

of thousands of children.

Hmph.

Slaves.

My people.

And I can no longer hide

in the desert while they suffer...

at your hands.

So...

you have returned...

only to free them.

I'm sorry.

Yes.

I had hoped...

that-

I do not know this God.

Neither will I

let your people go.

Rameses, please,

you must listen-

I will not be

the weak link!

Tell your people

as of today...

their workload

has been doubled,

thanks to your God.

Or is it thanks...

to you?

It's Moses.

Moses! Ohh.

So, Moses,

how does it feel when you

get struck to the ground?

I didn't mean

to cause you more pain.

I'm &ust trying to do

as God told me.

God? When did God start

caring about any of us?

In fact, Moses, when did you start

caring about slaves?

Was it when you found out

that you were one of us?

Don't listen to him.

No, he's-

he's right.

I did not see because

I did not wish to see.

Oh, you didn't see because

you didn't wish to see.

Ah! Well, that makes everything

fine then, doesn't it?

Aaron!

You shame yourself.

Miriam.

I'm so sorry.

Moses,

hear what I say.

I have been a slave...

all my life,
