"Go Down Moses" lyrics

Well we walked through the desert and crawled on the sand
Drank from the river in the palm of our hands
Looked out over the neighborhood of Salem
Knew we'd made it to the promised land
And we sang

Go down go down Moses walk through the bottom with me
Go down go down Moses lead the way home through the middle of the sea
Walk through the bottom with me
Go down Moses with me

Somebody came in the middle of the night
And took us to the water with no end in sight
Locked us up down deep inside
We didn't stop crying until we saw the light

Go down go down Moses walk through the bottom with me
Go down go down Moses lead the way home through the middle of the sea
Walk through the bottom with me
Go down Moses with me

Well I look out the window at everybody else
Walking on by so I sing to myself
Maybe someday we'll all accept
There ain't nothing wrong if there's anything else

Well there's truth in numbers and numbers don't lie
People don't like it when they get too high
We push and we pull and we don't understand
Why we never make it to the promised land

Go down go down Moses walk through the bottom with me
Go down go down Moses lead the way home through the middle of the sea
Walk through the bottom with me
Go down Moses with me

Go down go down Moses walk through the bottom with me
Go down go down Moses lead the way home through the middle of the sea
Walk through the bottom with me
Go down Moses with me
