[SHARON, HATTIE AND CHARLEY]I was born...[LEONARD]I was born in chains but I was taken out of EgyptI was bound to a burden, but the burden it was raisedOh Lord I can no longer keep this secretBlessed is the name, the name be praised.[SHARON]I fled to the edge of a mighty sea of sorrowPursued by the armies of a cruel and dark regimeBut the waters parted and my soul crossed overOut of Egypt, out of Pharaoh’s dream.[LEONARD]Word of words and the measure of all measuresBlessed is the name, the name be blessedWritten on my heart in burning lettersThat’s all I know, I do not know the rest[HATTIE]I was idled with my soul, when I heard that you could use meI followed very closely, but my life remained the sameBut then you showed me where you had been woundedIn every atom spoken is the name[CHARLEY]I was lost on the road, your love was so confusingAnd all the teachers told me that I had myself to blameBut in the arms? stands? the? illusionThe sweet unknowing unifies the name[LEONARD]Word of words, and the measure of all measuresBlessed is the name, the name be blessedWritten on my heart in burning lettersThat’s all I know, I cannot read the rest[LEONARD]I heard the soul unfolds in the chambers of this longingAs the bitter liquor sweetens in the amber cupAh but all the ladders of the night have fallenJust darkness now, to lift the longing up.[LEONARD]Word of words and measure of all measuresBlessed is the name, the name be blessedWritten on my heart in burning lettersThat’s all I know, I cannot read the rest[SHARON, HATTIE AND CHARLEY]Just darkness now, to lift the spirit up
