Tell Moses Lyrics by Colvin & Earle

Colvin & Earle

2016

[Verse 1]
Drama down in Egypt, Pharaoh's fit to fight
Talking about the trouble with the Israelites
How'm I supposed to build this monument of mine
If I can't keep the monoliths moving down the line?
Tell Moses, tell him go
If the children of Israel are suffering so
Tell Moses, tell him true
Gotta lead them where the Pharaoh won't be following you
[Chorus]
Water is wide, milk and honey on the other side
Water is wide, milk and honey on the other side
Water is wide, milk and honey on the other side
Keep on traveling along
[Verse 2]
Selma Alabama, nineteen sixty-five
Gotta stick together if you’re gonna stay alive
Riot gear and tear gas, sheriff's on the edge
Waiting with an army over yonder 'cross the bridge
Tell Martin, tell him go
If the devil’s in Montgomery and you got to let him know
Tell Martin, tell him now
He's been up on the mountain and he's gotta show us how
[Chorus]
Water is wide, milk and honey on the other side
Water is wide, milk and honey on the other side
Water is wide, milk and honey on the other side
Keep on traveling along
[Bridge]
Water is wide, milk and honey on the other side
Water is wide, milk and honey on the other side
Water is wide, milk and honey on the other side
Water is wide, milk and honey on the other side
Water is wide, milk and honey on the other side
Water is wide, milk and honey on the other side
Water is wide, milk and honey on the other side
Water is wide, milk and honey on the other side
[Verse 3]
Ferguson Missouri, people in the streets
Hands above their heads standing up to the police
Waiting on a hero to step into the breach
Ain’t nobody coming so it's up to you and me
Tell Mariam, tell John
Say the hourglass is empty and judgment day has come
Tell preacher, farmer Brown
Say Joshua's blown his trumpet and the walls are coming down
Tell sister, brother too
Tell them where they're going to meet us and what we're gonna do
Tell Stephen, tell Shawn
There’s a message in the music, everybody sing along
[Chorus]
Water is wide, milk and honey on the other side
Water is wide, milk and honey on the other side
Water is wide, milk and honey on the other side
Keep on traveling along
