Moses In the Wilderness - Larry Norman

Moses tending sheep in the fields one day

he thought he heard a burning scrub-brush say

gotta free your people

from the pharoah’s hand

gotta take em all to the promised land

Moses knew that God was taking to him

so he set off to Egypt with a vigor and vim

and moses bugged the pharoah — he bugged him

and he bugged him

till he got his people free

he used real bugs

yes indeed

he got his people freed

Moses on banks of the wide red sea

stuck out a stick and one two three

the water rolled back and the people walked down

everybody knew they wouldn’t drown

Pharoah told his army to bring em all back

and here comes the chariots clickety clack

why Moses took his stick

and he closed up the water

and the 'gyptians all took a bath

what a laugh

they all took a bath

dirty 'gyptians

grab my foot take my hand

lead me on to the promised land

milk and honey milk and honey

milk and honey milk and honey

me and all my people is here

so keep on sending manna

from the atmosphere

milk and honey milk and honey

milk and honey milk and honey

after forty long years in the wilderness

they finally saw their potential metropolis

they all gave thanks

and they all praised the Lord

even though it took time He kept His word

He grabbed their foot and He took their hand

and He brung em all over

to the promised land

but it seems to me like an awful long time to be looking for a home

a mighty long roam

looking for a home

never borrow money needlessly
