				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.
