[SHARON ROBINSON, HATTIE AND CHARLEY WEBB] I was born ... [LEONARD] I was born in chains but I was taken out of Egypt I was bound to a burden, but the burden it was raised Oh Lord, I can no longer keep this secret Blessed is the name, the name be praised. [SHARON] I fled to the edge of a mighty sea of sorrow Pursued by the riders of a cruel and dark regime But the waters parted and my soul crossed over Out of Egypt, out of Pharaoh's dream. [LEONARD, ROSCOE BECK, SHARON, HATTIE AND CHARLEY] () Word of words and the measure of all measures () Blessed is the name, the name be blessed Written on my heart in burning letters That's all I know, I cannot read the rest . [HATTIE] I was idled with my soul, when I heard that you could use me I followed very closely, but my life remained the same But then you showed me where you had been wounded In every atom, broken is the name. [CHARLEY] I was alone on the road, your love was so confusing And all the teachers told me that I had myself to blame But in the arms of sensual illusion A sweet unknowing unified the name. [LEONARD, ROSCOE, SHARON, HATTIE AND CHARLEY] Word of words, and the measure of all measures Blessed is the name, the name be blessed Written on my heart in burning letters That's all I know, I do not know the rest. [LEONARD] I've heard the soul unfold in the chambers of its longing And the bitter liquor sweeten in the hammered cup Ah but all the ladders of the night have fallen Just darkness now, to lift the longing up.
