Feast of Freedom

The Feast of Freedom

What does this mean?
Why on this night do we eat?

What is this all about?
Why on this night do we eat?

What are the laws that govern us?
How different is this night from all other nights?

We were...
They dealt harshly with us and oppressed us

They paid back in evil the kindness

We cried out
Does anyone know of our suffering?

But at ease my soul
Promise sustains us
Hear our plea in every generation

What will save us from their hands?
With a mighty hand and an outstretched arm?

With signs and wonders?
I am not a messenger.
With the awesome power?
Of divine?
Of divine revelation

Pass over our dwellings and redeem us
In every generation.

You shall tell your children on that day.
It is because of what they did for me.

From slaverly to freedom
From freedom to exile
From darkness to light
From light to darkness
From enslavement to redemption?

Next year may we celebrate
Next year
If it still stands there
Built again?

Rebuilt.
