Here We Go

  • 3:22
“Here We Go” is the final burst of joy, unity, and purpose in Exodus: The Musical. It serves both as a curtain call and a commissioning. After a story marked by oppression, grief, miracles, and transformation, this anthem declares that the journey is only beginning. Israel is not simply free from Egypt. They are free for something greater. This finale captures the excitement, uncertainty, courage, and collective fire of a people stepping into the unknown with hope as their guide.
  • From the Production Book
Musically, the number is built on the foundation set by “We Will Go.” It reprises and transforms that earlier anthem’s themes into something brighter, bolder, and more communal. The same Afrobeat pulse returns, but now it is celebratory instead of urgent.

Song Lyrics

[FULL ENSEMBLE:]

“[(sung in unified, bright harmony over light Afrobeat percussion and hand claps)] “

“Here we go –
For the glory of God
Here we go –
To the promise ahead
Here we go –
With His light in our steps
Here we go –
Where His word has led”

[SOLOIST:]

“[(sung with warm, declarative baritone; spotlight centers on him while the Ensemble sways softly)] “

“We crossed the sea –
The waters closed
We saw the end
But we still rose”

“We heard the cry
We felt the flame
But we are walking
In His name “

[FULL ENSEMBLE:]

“[(sung with joyful intensity; stomp and clap patterns expand as cast begins forming bow-friendly lines)]”

“Here we go –
For the glory of God
Here we go –
To the promise ahead
Here we go –
With His light in our steps
Here we go –
Where His word has led “

“[(sung with rising harmonic swell)]
We won’t stay silent
We answer the call
We walk together
He’s Lord over all”

“[(bright rhythmic emphasis)]
rhythmic emphasis)]
Here we go!
Here we’ll go!
For the glory of God
We go!

“[(sung with full-choir power; bright key modulation; curtain-call positions widening)]

“Here we go –
For the glory of God
Here we go –
With our eyes on the land
Here we go –
With His truth in our bones
Here we go –
With the promise in hand”

“[(gospel energy)]
We won’t be quiet
We won’t sit down
We rise through praise
We stand our ground “

Here we’ll go!
To the promised land
We go! “
