My Heros

The Exodus across a barren land
Pharaoh has set my people free
He's turned all Israel over to me
We'll be guided by I AM'S hand

We've not made it far enough away
Pharaoh has sent his troops to kill
And they shall do his evil will
I sent a wall of fire to stay

I've raised my hand against the sea
God has given me the staff of power
This will finally be our finest hour
Pharaoh's troops will cease to be

I climbed Horeb to receive the Law
My brother Aaron built a calf
I think he forgot about the staff
When I returned I was in Awe

I threw the tablets to the ground
When I arrived the sins revealed
The golden calf their fates are sealed
when they hit an awful sound

For forty years did Israel roam
At one hundred and thirty I'm growing old
Another shall lead them so God has told
To settle Israel into their home

Thirty one kings did the new leader slay
Jericho,Hebron and Megiddo too
Makkedah, Lasharon this is only a few
This is mostly where they are today

Who are we?
