| The Pharaoh of My Past |
|
I was enslaved In the Egypt of you By one whose heart Was hard like a brick And whose will was my burden And how I have come To be free is a story of a journey Through a desert Across a sea And up the tallest mountain I was your slave And a victim of a will so harsh It would not bend before The voice of God Until He took your son So this song celebrates And these words now sing To Pharaoh's dead son Who bought my freedom And freed me from the Egypt of you by Doug Tanoury This poem is © Copyright 2001 |
