Off to Egypt
[Verse 1]
I'm a lion in the desert
I’m a lion on a chart
I run through the equator
I'd point straight to the center of your heart
I'm a lion, I’m a lion
But I've tasted the time, and I can't wait much longer
'Til I'm all dressed in white and I see your delight
And I finally belong to you

[Chorus]
I'm off to Egypt
I'll sing to the mere winter sun
I'll tell the ash of the phoenix
New life has finally come
I moved to Egypt

[Verse 2]
I’m the rivers of Eden
I’m the fruit on her trees
I have long been forbidden
But now you make take as you please
I'm a river and I’ll deliver
This hairy man from the sun and the sand
I'm a garden, but I am just starting
And you, you will tend me with your leathern hands
[Chorus]
I'm off to Egypt
I'll sing to the mere winter sun
I’ll tell the ash of the phoenix
New life has finally come

[Post-Chorus]
I'm off to Egypt
I'll swim across the Salt Sea
And then I will stand in the wilderness
I will blossom and turn to green
I'm off to Egypt

[Verse 3]
I'm a bone from your body
I'm the light in your eyes
I'm a crown of glory
I'm the palace you're living inside
I'm a bone, a crown, and a throne
I'm the garden that's grown and the fruit of your hands
I'm the Red Sea that rows
Made a path so you'd go through the waters on dry land, and

[Chorus]
I'm off to Egypt
I'll sing to the mere winter sun
I'll tell the ash of the phoenix
New life has finally come
[Post-Chorus]
I'm off to Egypt
I'll swim across the Salt Sea
And then I will stand in the wilderness
I will blossom and turn to green
I'm off to Egypt
