"Be Still Moses" lyrics

She walks past the soldiers out in the street
Stays to the side with her eyes on her feet
She hardly makes a whisper, just barely a word
And this was all the baby heard

Be still Moses, don't make a sound
Be still Moses, don't make a sound
Be still Moses, don't make a sound
Keep your head down

Lying on the bank where the cool water flows
A baby's crying for a mother that he'll never know
She says, "The pharaoh wants you to die
So I'm leaving you here if you're gonna survive."

Be still Moses, don't make a sound
Be still Moses, don't make a sound
Be still Moses, don't make a sound
Keep your head down

"You're gonna be there when He parts the tide
And leads all the people to the other side
Climb that mountain by the Lord's goodwill
But right now, boy, you better be still

Be still Moses, don't make a sound
(I want you to be)
Be still Moses, don't make a sound
(She said)
Be still Moses, don't make a sound
([?])
Keep your head down

Be still Moses, don't make a sound
Be still Moses, don't make a sound
Be still Moses, don't make a sound
(Don't you make a sound)
Keep your head down

Be still Moses, don't make a sound
Be still Moses, don't make a sound
(She said)
Be still Moses, don't make a sound
Keep your head down
Keep your head down
Keep your head down
