We Will Survive

Haggadah Section: Hallel

(Sung to the tune of Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive”)

Moses: First I was afraid -

I was petrified.

Kept thinking I’m just not a public speaking kind of guy.

But then I spent too many nights

Seeing how you’d done them wrong,

And I grew strong.

Yes, I learned how to get along!

Pharoah: So now you’re here,

Back in my face.

You’ve brought us pestilence and famine,

Now I want you off my case!

I should have let your people go,

When the locusts ate our grain.

Now our firstborn have been taken,

And you’ve caused us so much pain!

Go on now, go!

Walk out the door.

Don’t turn around now –

You’re not welcome anymore.

Weren’t you the ones to bite the hand

that held your pie?

Without me, you’ll crumble -

You’ll all lay down and die!

CHORUS:No, we’ve got Chai –

We will survive!

As long as we trust in our G-d

We know we’ll stay alive.

Our numbers will be countless

As the stars up in the sky.

Yes, we’ll survive…We will survive!

Moses: It took all the strength we had,

Not to fall apart.

Now G-d has heard the weeping

Of our broken hearts.

You know we spent too many years

Sweating, hungry, and abused

We used to cry –

But now we hold our heads up high!

So now you’ll see

Somebody new.

We’re not that chained up little people

Once enslaved by you.

So if you decide to chase us,

Don’t expect it to be free.

Our G-d will surely save us,

Guide us through the parted sea!

Pharoah: Go on now, go!

Walk out the door.

Don’t turn around now –

You’re not welcome anymore.

Weren’t you the ones to bite the hand

that held your pie?

Without me, you’ll crumble

Yeah, you’ll lay down and die!

CHORUS:No, we’ve got Chai –

We will survive!

As long as we trust in our G-d

We know we’ll stay alive.

Our numbers will be countless

As the stars up in the sky.

Yes, we’ll survive…

We will survive!

Yeah, we’ve got Chai –

We will survive!

These miracles of freedom

G-d delivered long ago -

Still we tell our children,

So the story they will know.

We will survive!

We have survived!!!!
