				 How the Toadies relate to the exodus.
			
			 
		
 
	
	
		
		
		There was a band in the mid-90's called the Toadies and they released a song called "I Come From the Water." All the lyrics relate to the exodus after Moses parts the red sea. 
 
I come from the water 
I crawled upon the shore 
I left my brothers there 
I got what I came for 
 
The Pharoah was Moses' brother, he came up from the ocean and he got all the treasure. 
 
I sucked that hot air in 
And rolled upon the sand 
Emerged beneath the sun 
To be a man. 
 
Moses reached the desert and basked under the hot sun and the Jews began as a new people. 
 
 
I come from the water 
I come from the water 
That weren't no easy thing 
It's more than nature 
It's like my destiny 
 
The parting of the red sea wasn't easy but God made it Moses' destiny. 
 
I stood upon these legs 
And held my head up high 
Emerged beneath the sun 
To start a new life 
 
Just like the second verse. 
 
Life in the desert 
Just to be together 
The sand forever 
The same forever 
It moves beneath me 
It pulls my body 
My pulse beats hotter 
So far from the water 
 
The 40 days and 40 nights. It gets hotter and hotter away from the sea. 
 
I love to see the sun 
In spite of all it's done 
I pray for shade and rain 
I pray to live again 
I come from the water 
 
Moses prays that they overcome the exodus and move on as a people.
