Simcha
[MOSES, spoken]
The Pharaoh has granted my plea. You are free men and women from now on!

(sung)
That day has come
You thought would never come
The day you break your chains
The thrill of freedom coursing through your veins
I know it's hard to believe but I swear it’s true
Now there's only one thing that we can do

Sim-cha, cha-gi-gah
Sing a song of exaltation

[MOSES & MIRIAM]
Sim-cha, cha-gi-gah
Let us make a joyful noise

[TZIPPORAH]
Let the caged bird fly to the open sky

[TZIPPORAH & MIRIAM & MOSES, (ENSEMBLE)]
With a cry of liberation
Let's begin the celebration

Sim-cha cha-gi-gah
Sim-cha cha-gi-gah (Sim-cha cha-gi-gah)
Sim-cha cha-gi-gah (Sim-cha cha-gi-gah)
Sim-cha cha-gi-gah (Cha-gi-gah sim-cha)
Sim-cha cha-gi-gah (Cha-gi-gah sim-cha)
Sim-cha cha-gi-gah (Cha-gi-gah sim-cha)
[ENSEMBLE]
Sim-cha, cha-gi-gah
Sing a song of exaltation
Sim-cha, cha-gi-gah
Let us make a joyful noise
Let the caged bird fly to the open sky
With a raucous cry of liberation
Now we celebrate with jubilation

Simcha, chagigah
Simcha, chagigah

[ENSEMBLE]
Sim-cha, cha-gi-gah
Sim-cha, cha-gi-gah
