The Argument lyrics
by Neal Morse
[NARRATOR, spoken]
In other words, from the first standpoint, the worst is going to happen
You're all going to die
[JACOB]
Son, we don't have any food
There's a drought in the land
And it's spreading out far and wide
[REUBEN]
Father, there's no water here
We must leave, there's no way
And to stay would be suicide
[LEVI]
Father, what shall we do?
We shall have to leave here
[JUDAH]
And where shall we go?
And what shall we do?
There's no other way
Tell mе, Father
[SIMEON]
There's no food hеre
There's been no rain
We will have to leave here
There's no food here
There's been no rain
We will have to leave here
[ALL]
Where do we go?
What do we do?
People say it doesn't matter anyway
[JUDAH]
Boys, I hear there may be bread
We can buy, it was stored
By the Lord of the Pharaoh
[REUBEN]
I don't think that we should go
We are hated in Egypt
Who knows what they'll do to us?
[DAN]
I don't think we should go there
Egypt is a bad place
[SIMEON]
I don't know, maybe Father's right
We will die here
[ISAACHAR]
We can't leave him here
He is much too old
Fending for himself, he will perish
[ALL]
Where do we go?
What do we do?
People say it doesn't matter anyway
Anyway
