Oh pharaoh was so evil

Enslaving God's most precious creations

A wicked and hard taskmaster

Applying suffering everyday

They said how long can this go on

For our backs are about to break

Father replied I heard your cry

And I'll make a way for your escape

Now if I have to part the sea

To set my children free

These are my people

Oh turn the river into blood

Send the locust to devour

These are my people

Don't you know he said it

Said it back then

Now he's saying it again

Let my people go

Cause these are my people

Oh my people

Now we're looking at the same situation

Over there in south africa

They're using different names but it's still pharaoh

Satan is behind it all

Let us pray that they will heed our warning

For the wrath of god is on its way

There's still time for change and forgiveness

But judgment's drawing closer everyday

Whether black whether white

They're all precious in his sight

These are my people

Not another holocaust

Where so many souls are lost

These are my people

You can't do as you please

No not with these

These are my people

I can hear the spirit say

Let them go and run away

These are my people

Said it back then

Now he's saying it again

Let my people go

Let my people go

These are my people

Said it back then

Now he's saying it again

Let my people go

Let my people go

These are my people

You can't hide

I hate evil I hate apartheid

You better stop abusin'

Stop it with the killin'

And let my people go

Let my people go

I never gave you the right

To take another's life

Let my people go

You better stop abusin'

Stop it with the killin'

And let my people go

Free my people

Break the shackles

Let my people go

Let the chains fall

Let my people go

I want em' to stand

Let my people go

And I want em' to stand tall

Let my people go

They're mine she's mine

He's mine they're mine you're mine

You are my people

These are my people

Let my people go

These are my people

Let my people go

You can't hide

I hate evil I hate apartheid
