all i ever wanted

(Miriam) Moses! Now that you're here. You can't leave us again.
You must remember.
Hush now, my baby, be still, love, don't cry
Sleep as you're rocked by the stream (Moses: What are you singing?)
Sleep and remember my last lullaby (Moses: I know that song)
So I'll be with you when you dream
( Moses) It can't be! It can't be!

(Moses)
Gleaming in the moonlight
Cool and clean and all I've ever known
All I ever wanted
Sweet perfumes of incense
Graceful rooms of alabaster stone
All I ever wanted
This is my home
With my father mother brother
Oh so noble oh so strong
Now I am home
Here among my trappings and belongings
I belong
And if anybody doubts it
They couldn't be more wrong

I am a sovereign prince of Egypt
A son of the proud history that's shown
Etched here on the wall
Surely this is all I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I ever......

(Yocheved)
Yaldi hatov veh harach
Al tira veh al tifchad
My son, I have nothing I can give
But this chance that you may live

(Moses ) I have been in this room, countless times
but I've never really looked at the pictures on the wall before
(Seti) Ah! Yes. The Hebrews
(Moses) These things... . you did them?
(Seti) Sometimes one must do things make a bitter choice that scars your soul
This I never wanted
Pharaohs make decisions
I must keep our kingdom safe and whole
Not just what I wanted
(Seti) My son.
(Moses) Why would you call me that?
(Seti) Moses!

(Moses)
Glistening in the sunrise
Seethe river dancing greens and blues
All I ever wanted
Now the Nile is singing
Telling of how much it hurts to lose
All I ever wanted

(Queen Tuya)
This is your home, my son
Here the river brought you
And it's here the river meant
To be your home
Now you know the truth love
Now forget and be content
When the gods send you a blessing
You don't ask why it was sent

(Moses)
I am still a sovereign prince of Egypt
A drop in the eternal stream that glows
From the golden calf
Now I know it's all I ever wanted
All I ever wanted
All I'll ever want
