Freedom-A Passover Tale

Freedom-A Passover Tale
(To the tune of Freedom by Akon)
Written by Rachel Goldstein

From the West Nile in Egypt,
All the way to Mount Saini,
Thanks to Aaron and Moses,
For givin’ my peeps’ their glory.

He came up with a plan,
He was gonna leave this land,
For a free uplifting world,
It’s all he ever knew.

God came a little after,
And he sent a bloody river,
All the slaves under pressure,
They don’t fight one another.

See the pain would never last,
He did the best with what he had,
He knew the world was up for grabs,
So he searched to find his:

Freedom, Freedom, Freedom, Freedom
First the plague of blood, then the lotus,
Then the plague of boils,
And then the exodus,
I wanna be free, I wanna be free.
Freedom, Freedom, Freedom, Freedom
First the plague of blood, then the lotus,
Then the plague of boils,
And then the exodus,
I wanna be free, I wanna be free.

All the Jews were really weak,
They had to work on their feet.
So Moses said to Pharaoh,
You gotta let my people go.
But the Pharaoh said, “Man, no way!
My slaves are here to stay.
You can not go on your way,
It’s to me you must pray!”

So then God sent the plague,
And with them he wasn’t vague,
See he knew what would happen,
If Pharaoh didn’t listen.
And the Jews went to the desert,
And Moses split the water,
And they knew they would get there,
They finally reached their:

Freedom, Freedom, Freedom, Freedom
First the plague of blood, then the lotus,
Then the plague of boils,
And then the exodus,
I wanna be free, I wanna be free.
