Larry Norman - Moses In The Wilderness lyrics

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
