to the tune of “Into the Woods” 

Into the sea, where Adonai 
Has promised that the land is dry.
Moses is here and he’s the guy 
To guide us on our journey. 

Into the sea— We can’t deny
The trip we take can terrify. 
Will we be free or will we die 
Before we start our journey?

The way is clear. 
We have our guide. 
So have no fear. 
God will provide. 
The sand is up ahead. 
The soldiers are behind. 
I really hate to ask it, 
But will I need a casket?

Into the sea— We have no bread. 
The time was tight, and so we fled. 
Moses has said we’ll all be fed 
As we head on our journey. 

Into the sea— We don’t know how
But we agree the time is now. 
Later we’ll build a golden cow 
To guide us on our journey. 
Into the sea! And out of the sea!
Into the sea! And out of the sea! 
And home before dark!
