Israel and Saul
What a combination
Samuel a relic from a dreadful past
Saul will bring us peace
Power and elation
All we ever needed was a change of cast
Now we have a king
Now we are competing
Enemies retreating, we are free at last

[SAMUEL]
"Make them a king!
Calm their hysteria!"
Thus said the Lord and I obeyed His call
Now see them cling
To someone so inferior
Mad, capricious
Sad, ambitious
Saul

[ISRAELITE WOMEN]
Saul is our defense
Glorious, resplendent
Savior of a peoplе who have been betrayed
[ISRAELITES]
Kings arе making sense
Israel ascendant
Holy men have failed us at the barricade
Let us praise our king
Practical, pragmatic
Victories emphatic now the change is made

[SAUL]
We were oppressed
Failed by theocracy
Failed by its prophets who had lost their nerve
Now they protest
Oh, such hypocrisy
If allowed to
I am proud to serve

[ISRAELITES]
Saul is in his pomp
Saul is our redeemer
Saul has brought his people back to life again
Glory as we swamp
Every vile blasphemer
Every single enemy we hold profane
Glory to King Saul
All we every prayed for
Finally we've paid for all the years of pain
[ISRAELITES & SAUL]
Finally we've paid for all the years of pain
