Moses: I have done nothing in my life worth honoring.

Jethro: I’m about to start this man’s whole career.

[alking]

For such a joyful song, where Jethro sings the line "When all you've got is nothing, there's a lot to go around" always makes me tear up.

[deanna]

I tried so hard to listen to this soundtrack while studying but ITS JUST SO DISTRACTING. LOOK AT YOUR LIFE. I just keep singing along. damn.

[faith]

Moses: “I have done nothing in my life worth honouring”
Jethro: *give me two secs bro, I got ya*

[Abigail-wzbe]

It’s 2am. I’m laying in bed with my eyes closed, blasting the Prince of Egypt soundtrack in my ears, bawling my eyes out

Fun fact: The creator of this movie used to work at Disney and pitched the idea to make this film but Disney refused so he quit his job, founded Dreamworks, and made this masterpiece without Disney’s help

[ex-navyspook]

This movie is really one of those overlooked gems.

What I love about this song, is that it doesn't matter what religion you are, the message stands. When you find yourself in the service of others, your true worth as a human being builds in worth. Its not about you telling others how great you are. Its about others wanting to do it for you. Be the change. Be the beauty. Empower others and promote love. This song is everything.

“Look at your life through heaven’s eyes”

Only me or that’s inspirational as heck?

[jedifreak]

I often worry about the future, the fact that I am not rich, and the lack of progress I've made in life. Some days it makes me feel worthless.

But after listening to this song i realize: I have a family that loves me, I have plenty of good food to eat, a place to sleep and be safe every night, and friends who actually care about me. I truly am wealthy beyond measure.

A 4 minute song that teaches us all a very valuable lesson worth more than gold

[Masons_journal_archive]

I'm an atheist, but damn this movie is so powerful in animation and soundtrack that I am a sucker for it

[TziporaArt]

That one song where you have no choice but to pull out your tambourine. :D

[vagabondart]

It doesn't matter if you're spiritual, religious, an atheist or anything from the list - this song is just really uplifting and motivating. The song promotes love and communication between people. I love the movie and did ever since I was a child, you don't have to justify yourself why you do. I grew up in an atheistic family, but that doesn't mean I can't respect religious people, and this movie and what the people who made it went trough fascinates me: "they conferred with roughly 600 religious experts and its the only Exodus-inspired movie to get approval from the leaders of all 3 major religions that share this story" (Quoted from an article that I cannot find right now).

"That's why papa says she'll never get married"

[erikwaterson]

No matter what religion you are or aren't, we can all agree on one thing:

This song is a banger.

[PastelPumpkintattoo]

This song connects with me alot as my father passed 3 years ago, when he sang songs he sounded exactly like this and I asked him to sing it for me one day while we were cleaning dishes in the kitchen when i had visited for dinner. He was amazing, he did a very good ''if i were a rich man'' from fiddler on the roof too. I miss him so much, but music like this makes me feel he is very much alive in my memories.

"No life can escape being blown about by the winds of change and chance, and though you never know all the steps, you must learn to join the dance." One of the deepest, most fundamental truths to living a life worth living.

[gabbaptista]

A single thread in a tapestry
Though its color brightly shine
Can never see its purpose
In the pattern of the grand design

And the stone that sits on the very top
Of the mountain's mighty face

Does it think it's more important
Than the stones that form the base?

So how can you see what your life is worth
Or where your value lies?
You can never see through the eyes of man
You must look at your life
Look at your life through heaven's eyes
Lai-la-lai

A lake of gold in the desert sand
Is less than a cool fresh spring
And to one lost sheep, a shepherd boy

Is greater than the richest king
If a man lose ev'rything he owns
Has he truly lost his worth?
Or is it the beginning
Of a new and brighter birth?

So how do you measure the worth of a man
In wealth or strength or size?
In how much he gained or how much he gave?
The answer will come
The answer will come to him who tries
To look at his life through heaven's eyes

And that's why we share all we have with you
Though there's little to be found
When all you've got is nothing
There's a lot to go around

No life can escape being blown about
By the winds of change and chance

And though you never know all the steps
You must learn to join the dance
You must learn to join the dance

Lai-la-lai

So how do you judge what a man is worth?

By what he builds or buys?

You can never see with your eyes on earth
Look through heaven's eyes
Look at your life
Look at your life
Look at your life through heaven's eyes!

This woke me up to how Christianity is meant to be. A way of living for each other. Not "I think I am right and therefore people should do my will because I am wise and prideful." Went from a raised christian to a satanist to a wiccan. The grass is never greener until you realize its all a lie. All a ruse by the forces of darkness to make you think its more complicated and concrete than it really is. God want's his praise which is why he made man, but God sent his son who was also part man to show us a leader who lead by example. Jesus is the way because he is the example. Living live as a humble servant of others, never growing prideful, and always willing to help and seek out those in need of help. There were people who did good things in the religions I swore myself into, but none of them are lasting because they are an institution, and median of control. Christianity has been warped by the evil in this world and it's selfishness to push people away from it, and to divide believers. Live your life not thinking you know better than your peers, and do not live it trying to push them into believing it. Lead by example. Be a friend, a shoulder to cry on, a helping hand, a ear, a mouth to speak good things to those afflicted by negative things. Follow the example we have been given, and you will see things in your life start to change for the better, and the world around you as well. The world of man is a world built on the self, but the world of god is a world built around the selfless. The indulgence of the self cannot last nor should it for this is why many of the problems in our world persist so constantly. Be humble, be selfless, and seek out those in need. There are so many. Even I am somewhat broken lol, but I love to help others. When you do, you will see things about people change, and good things will start to come to them as well as you. Rejoice because this means you have done well, but also prepare for the storms that life will send back at you again. If you are the man with a house on a rock, and see others drowning in the storm, offer them a place in your house, and help to aid them.
