Original West End Cast of The Prince of Egypt
Return to Egypt
[TZIPPORAH, spoken]
Your family will be happy that you’re alive

[MOSES, spoken]
You don’t understand the world they live in. I don’t know if they’ll even want to see me

[TZIPPORAH]
Make them see you

(sung)
Though this journey was rugged and long
And probably unwise
You can truly say even if it goes wrong
You looked through Heaven’s eyes
Help them to look through Heaven’s eyes

[ENSEMBLE]
Life! Health! Strength!
Life! Health! Strength!

[HIGH PRIEST HOTEP, spoken]
Seven days have passed since the birth of Pharaoh’s son. And on the seventh day, the gods have decreed that we bless the firstborn, and give him his birth name

[HOTEP & (ENSEMBLE)]
You are protected like gold
(I will protect your earth, protect your light)
You are protected like stone
(Protect your day, protect you)
You are protected like the seven gods
(I will protect your earth, protect your light)
Who make our world
(Protect your day, protect you)
[HOTEP, spoken]
What is the name you give your son?

[RAMESES, spoken]
Seti the second

[ENSEMBLE]
Mighty Pharaoh Rameses!
Queen Nefertari!
Seti the second!
Long may you reign!
