When You Believe (version 5)

Later as dawn approached, Norman sadly walked back to the Hebrew village still having tears in his eyes. He returned to his sibling's home, where Olivia was waiting for him. When she saw his sadness, she came over to him and hugged him to comfort him. They looked over and saw Arden coming over to them with a sad smile. Norman tried to smile back, but he was too sad and ashamed for causing so much pain.

Arden knew her brother was upset and realized how much pain he caused to Egypt, although she was happy she and her people were now free. She smiled sadly as she held her hand out on her brother's shoulder and sang.

Arden: *Many nights we've prayed*
*With no proof anyone could hear*
*In our hearts a hopeful song*
*We barely understood*

As she sang, Timmy Flaversham and Melanie Haynes looked out their window while Samantha Flaversham and her children came out of their home and looked at the destruction of Egypt. As we get a glimpse of Egypt, we see one of the statues of Rathoug shattered, and the working areas for the Hebrews were abandoned, with pick-axes scattered on the ground.

Arden: *Now we are not afraid*
*Although we know there's much to fear*
*We were moving mountains*
*Long before we knew we could*

As the sun started to rise, the Hebrews came out of their homes and gathered around Arden, and Scotty came out of his home, wearing a loose green long-sleeved tunic under his vest and black sandals and got on a small rucksack with a smile on his face. As the Hebrews gathered in the streets, Arden came over to her nephew, Aaron Frierson, and ruffled his hair, and the young male mouse giggled in delight as Arden continued singing.

Arden: *There can be miracles*
*When you believe*
*Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill*
*Who knows what miracles*
*You can achieve*
*When you believe, somehow you will*
*You will when you believe*

She came over to Norman and Scotty, and they looked at the Hebrews, smiling at them, grateful that they finally have their freedom thanks to them and God. Olivia watched as the Hebrews gathered around Norman, and she started to sing along as pigeons in the streets flew over the statue of Anubis.

Olivia: *In this time of fear*
*When prayers so often proved in vain*
*Hope seemed like the summer birds*
*Too swiftly flown away*

She began to walk over to the group as Arden walked by her and put her hands on her shoulder with a smile, and the sisters-in-law started singing together until Olivia came up to Norman, and they held each other's hands with smiles.

Olivia: *Yet now I'm standing here*

Arden: *Now I'm standing here*

Olivia: *With heart so full, I can't explain*

Both: *Seeking faith and speaking words I never thought I'd say*

As the morning began to crack, the Hebrews began to leave Egypt. They walked through the streets with happy smiles and passed the destroyed pillars from the temples with Egyptian carvings on them, and the water lifted. At one of the working areas near the temples, Fidget, one of the guards, watched them leave and instead of stopping them, he took off his turban and stood there in defeat, knowing there was nothing he and the other guards can do to stop the Hebrews now.

The Hebrews were passing two of the guards, Old Blind Joe and Peewee Pete, but they threw their spears and shields down in defeat, having enough of trying to keep the Hebrews in line and after all the things that happened over the past few days in Egypt, they decided to leave all of that behind them, and they started a new life as they joined the Hebrews on their journey out of Egypt. The Hebrews passed by a statue of Adrian's head, and some of them climbed over it.

Olivia: *There can be miracles*
*When you believe*
*Though hope is frail*
*It's hard to kill*

Arden: *Who knows what miracles*
*You can achieve*

Olivia: *When you believe*
*Somehow you will*

Both: *You will when you believe*

Hebrew Girl: *Ashira l'adonai, ki gaoh ga-ah*
*Ashira l'adonai, ki gaoh ga-ah*

The Hebrews arrived at the front gate out of Egypt and walked through it. As they made their way out of the gate, an elderly female mouse named Lady Ezmeralda Mousewell leaned against the wall with a relieved smile at her new freedom, and Jessica Deyton-Orr came over to her and took her hand. They walked out of the gates with the other Hebrews.

Hebrew Children: *Mi chamocha baelim adonai*
*Mi kamocha nedar ba kodesh*
*Nachita v'chas-da cha*
*Am zu ga-alta*
*Nachita v'chas-da cha*
*Am zu ga-alta*
*Ashira*
*Ashira*
*Ashira*

As they walked all across the desert, Iggy Koopa, Lemmy Koopa, and Poochy climbed over the hills and ran over to them as they followed the people. In the crowd, all the children were happily playing with each other and danced about in glee.

Hebrew Children: *Ashira l'adonai, ki gaoh ga-ah*
*Ashira l'adonai, ki gaoh ga-ah*

One of the Hebrews laughed as he herded his small flock of goats, and Norman played with one of his sons, Cody Frierson, and one of nieces, Edith Deyton-Orr. Cody jumped on one of the ends of his staff, Edith others laughed as he hung onto it, she tried to reach the other end, and Norman knelt down and let her on. The two mouse children giggled as he carried them with him.

Hebrew Children: *Mi chamocha baelim adonai*
*Mi kamocha nedar ba kodesh*
*Nachita v'chas-da cha*
*Am zu ga-alta*
*Nachita v'chas-da cha*
*Am zu ga-alta*

Jimmy Flaversham rode on his mule through the crowd and laughed with delight. Audrey Frierson, one of Norman's daughters, was chasing some geese. Scotty was walking with his camel, and the camel leaned towards him and ate some of his hair, and Scotty frowned in disgust at it. Grace Frierson, Norman's other daughter, was riding on Red's shoulders while carrying her doll.

Hebrew Children: *Ashira*
*Ashira*
*Ashira*

Everyone danced together while some of the other Hebrews played their instruments. Snakes was bouncing Kyle Deyton-Orr and nuzzling him. Norman watched how his people were enjoying their new found freedom, and Norman held his staff up in happiness as the entire Hebrew population sang all together.

Hebrews: *There can be miracles*
*When you believe*
*Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill*
*Who knows what miracles*
*You can achieve*
*When you believe, somehow you will*

As the days passed, the Hebrews were still walking, but they all kept their spirits up. Tina Flaversham walked with her cows as the Hebrews passed through the mountains. By nightfall, the Hebrews continued while most of them held makeshift torches out of sticks tied together in their hands to help light their way. In the crowd, Scotty came over to Norman, put his hand on his shoulder and smiled at his little brother, showing that he had finally accepted him despite his past as one of the royals. Norman put his hand on Scotty's, and he smiled back at him.

Hebrews: *Now you will*
*You will when you believe*

The Hebrews continued their journey through the mountains until daybreak, and as they left the mountains, Norman and his family walked together, and Olivia and Arden finished the last verse together.

Both: *You will when you*
*Believe*

The Hebrews all looked ahead and saw the shores of the Red Sea up ahead as the sun started rising in the horizon.
