1. THEY’RE RUNNING AWAY FROM MISFORTUNE AND CURSE
IN THE DEEP OF THE NIGHT
THEY HAVE BROKEN THE CHAINS
NOW THEY RUN FOR THEIR LIVES
2. A LEADER IS BORN AND HIS POWER IS DONE
BY GOD AND HIS MIGHT
THEY PRAY FOR THE STRENGTH, THE WILL TO STAY ALIVE
CHORUS 1
THEY ARE RUNNING AWAY, PRAYING TO GOD EV’RY DAY
HEADING FOR THAT SANCTUARY IN THE SAND
THERE’S A STORM IN THE SKY AND DEFIANCE IN THEIR EYES
WILL THEY REACH THE PROMISED LAND
3. THE OCEAN IS WIDE AND THE CHANCES ARE FEW
BUT THEY’LL FIGHT TO SURVIVE
AS THE DRUMS OF WAR ARE POUNDING IN THE NIGHT
4. THE WIND IS SO WILD, IT’S RAGING THE SEA
IT’S SO UNREAL
THEY WILL PAY THE PRICE, FOR SEEING THE LIGHT
CHORUS 2
LIKE A MIRACLE THE PRAYERS WERE HEARD
THEY REACHED THE OTHER SIDE
THEY ALL HAD THE POWER OF GOD IN THEIR HANDS
SOLDIERS PERISHED WITH THE TIDE
BUT PHARAOH WAS STILL ALIVE
AND HE KNEW HOW THE STORY ENDS
