When You Believe: Music from 'The Prince of Egypt' Page #4

---

and God has never

answered my prayers until now.

God saved you

from the river,

He saved you

in all your wanderings,

and even now He saves you

from the wrath of Pharaoh.

God will not abandon you,

so don't you abandon us.

Miriam.

Where are you going?

M- Miriam.

The ball disappears.

Where is it? In his hand.

Rameses!

Let my people go!

Still gnawing away

at that bone, are we?

Carry on.

You cannot

keep ignoring us.

Enough! I will hear no more

of this Hebrew nonsense.

Bring him to me.

- Moses!

- No!

Take the staff

in your hand, Moses.

Father.

- It's-

- Blood!

Blood! Oh, blood!

Hotep! Huy!

Explain this to me!

- Ah!

- Rest assured, Your Ma&esty-

Uh, yes, we were going to

demonstrate the superior might...

of our gods.

Uh-

By the power of Ra!

Abandon this futile mission,

Moses.

I've indulged you

long enough.

This must now

be finished.

No, Rameses.

It is only beginning.

But, Moses, d-didn't you

see what happened?

The priests

did the same thing.

Pharaoh still has the power

over our lives.

Yes, Aaron, it's true.

Pharaoh has the power.

He can take away your food,

your home, your freedom.

He can take away

your sons and daughters.

With one word,

Pharaoh can take away

your very lives.

But there is one thing

he cannot take away from you:

your faith.

Believe,

for we will see

God's wonders.

# Thus saith the Lord #

# Since you refuse

to free my people #

- # Since you refuse to free my people #

- # Since you refuse #

# All through

the land of Egypt #

# I send a pestilence, a plague #

# Into your house, into your bed #

- # Into your streams Into your streets #

- Hmm.

# Into your drink

Into your bread #

# Upon your cattle, on your sheep #

# Upon your oxen

in your field #

# Into your dreams, into your sleep #

# Until you break

Until you yield #

# I send the swarm #

# I send the horde

Thus saith the Lord #

# Once I called you brother #

# Once I thought the chance

to make you laugh #

# Was all I ever wanted #

# I send the thunder

from the sky #

# I send the fire

raining down #

# And even now I wish

that God had chose another #

# Serving as your foe

on His behalf #

# Is the last thing #

- # That I wanted #

- # I send a hail of burning ice #

# On every field

On every town #

# This was my home #

# All this pain and devastation

how it tortures me inside #

# All the innocent

who suffer #

# From your stubbornness #

- # And pride #

- # I send the locusts on the wind #

# Such as the world

has never seen #

# On every leaf

On every stalk #

# Until there's nothing left

of green #

# I send my scourge

I send my sword #

# Thus saith the Lord #

# You who I called brother #

# Why must you call down another blow #

# I send my scourge

I send my sword #

- # Let my people go #

- # Thus saith the Lord #

# Thus saith the Lord #

# You who I called brother #

# How could you have come

to hate me so #

# Is this what you wanted #

# I sent the swarm

I sent the horde #

# Then let my heart

be hardened #

# And never mind

how high the cost may grow #

# This will still be so #

# I will never let #

# Your people go #

# Thus saith the Lord #

- # I will not let #

- & Let #

- # Your people #

- # My people #

- # Go ##

- # Go ##

Rameses?

Rameses?

Oh. Let me guess.

You want me to...

let your people go.

I hoped

I would find you here.

Get out!

Rameses, we must

bring this to an end.

Rameses, please,

talk to me.

We could always

talk here.

This place.

So many memories.

I remember the time you...

switched the heads of the gods

of the temple of Ra.

If I recall correctly,

you were there switching heads

right along with me.

No, it was you.

I didn't do that.

Oh, yes, you did.

You put the hippo on the crocodile,

and the crocodile-

- On the falcon.

- Yes!

The priest thought it was a horrible

omen and fasted for two months.

Father was furious. You were

always getting me into trouble.

But then-

you were always there

to...

get me out of trouble

again.

Hmmph.

Why can't things be

the way they were before?

Father.

It's so dark.

I'm frightened.

Why is he here?

Isn't that the man

who did all this?

Yes.

But one must wonder...

why.

Because no kingdom should be made

on the backs of slaves.

Rameses, your stubbornness

is bringing this misery upon Egypt.

It would cease if only you

would let the Hebrews go.

I will not be dictated to.

I will not be threatened.

I am the morning

and the evening star. I am Pharaoh.

Something else is coming. Something

much worse than anything before.

Please, let go of

your contempt for life...

before it destroys

everything you hold dear.

Think of your son!

I do.

You Hebrews have been

nothing but trouble.

My father had the right idea

about how to deal with your people.

- Rameses- - And I think

it's time I finished the &ob.

- Rameses! - And there shall be

a great cry in all of Egypt...

such as never has been

or ever will be again!

Rameses, you bring this

upon yourself.

God has come

to me again, saying,

"Take a lamb...

and with its blood...

mark the lintel and posts

of every door,

for tonight...

I shall pass through

the land of Egypt...

and smite

all the firstborn.

But when I see the blood

upon your door...

I will pass over you,

and the plague

shall not enter. "

You

and your people...

have my permission to go.

Leave me!

# Many nights we've prayed #

# With no proof #

# Anyone could hear #

# In our hearts

a hopeful song #

# We barely understood #

# Now we are not afraid #

# Although we know

there's much to fear #

# We were moving mountains #

# Long before

we knew we could #

# There can be miracles #

# When you believe #

# Though hope is frail #

# It's hard to kill #

# Who knows what miracles #

# You can achieve #

# When you believe #

# Somehow you will #

# You will when you #

# Believe #

# In this time of fear #

# When prayers so often

proved in vain #

# Hope seemed like

the summer birds #

# Too swiftly flown away #

- # Yet now I'm standing here #

- # Now I'm standing here #

# With heart so full

I can't explain #

# Seeking faith

and speaking words #

# I never thought I'd say #

# There can be miracles #

- # When you believe #

- # When you believe #

# Though hope is frail #

- # It's hard to kill #

- # It's hard to kill #

# Who knows what miracles #

- # You can achieve #

- # You can achieve #

# When you believe #

# Somehow you will #

# You will

when you believe #
