Man Come into Egypt
Liberation's Anthem: Moses' Flame in Egypt
Lyrics
There is a man come into Egypt, and Moses is his name
Refers to a man who has arrived in Egypt, identified as Moses.
When he saw the grief upon us,
Upon witnessing the sorrow or distress of the people.
in his heart there burned a flame.
He feels a passionate, intense emotion within himself.
In his heart there burned a flame Oh Lord,
Reiterates the profound feeling burning within Moses.
In his heart there burned a flame,
Repeats the notion of the intense feeling within Moses' heart.
When he saw the grief upon us,
Re-emphasizes Moses' reaction to witnessing the grief.
in his heart there burned a flame.
Repeats the idea of an intense emotion sparked by observing grief.
There is a man come into Egypt, his eyes are full of light
Highlights the arrival of a man in Egypt with bright, insightful eyes.
Like the sun come up in Egypt, come to drive away the night
