On the Sinai Desert Highway
Warm wind at my lips,
I look back and remember,
how we left Egypt
And now all around me,
I saw such wonderous sights,
a cloud guiding us by day,
and a pillar of fire at night.
There was blood on the doorway,
when down came Hashem,
Killed all the Egyption first borns,
so we could be free men.
Then Moshe picked up his staff,
and he showed us the way,
As he took us out in the middle of the night,
we heard a Bas Kol say...
You're going to Ma'amat Har Sinai
Such a Holy place,
In God's embrace.
Gettin' the Torah at Ma'amat Har Sinai
Where the nation will be,
One whole family.
When we got to the Red Sea
Depression set in,
Moshe said,
I did not take you to this place,
just to die my friend.
Then he lifted his arms,
and he parted the Sea,
We crossed over to the other side,
where we would all be free.
How many Makot were there?
We could barely keep counts,
As the Egyptions they all died,
Soldiers upon their mounts.
Then Moshe went up so faaaaaaaaaaar away,
Brought down the luchot in middle of the night,
And you'd hear him say.
Welcome to Ma'amat Har Sinai
The Laws are strict
By God's edict
Living in awe at Ma'amat Har Sinai
Where the golden calf
Was broke in half
Now I sit at the seder,
a pillow upon my seat, -- and I thought,
I wonder how long maggid will take,
Until we get to eat.
And at the _____'s table (Fill in where you are that night)
We gather for the feast
Remembering slavery with our bitter herbs
And our bread that has no yeast!
Last thing I remember
We were headed for the door
Hoping we'd find Eliyahu who'd bring,
us back to days of yore
Moshiach is coming
we are commanded to believe
We'll all be returned to Eretz Yisrael
Where we will never leave
