Family Parshah
Song for Parshat Shemot I

Lyrics:

Each man worked as a slave
The Jews were beaten but were brave
All boys born must be
Drowned, was Paroh’s decree

The Jews were sad, when this they heard
But they didn’t listen to Paroh’s word
A boy was born and hidden for a while
Then in his basket, put into the Nile

Miriam stood nearby
As Paroh’s daughter heard a cry
She saw the basket and she knew
This lovely baby was a Jew

"Moshe he’ll be called," said Paroh’s daughter
For he was taken from the water
As Moshe in the palace grew
Of Bnei Yisroel’s suffering he knew
