Go Up Moses Lyrics by Roberta Flack

Quiet Fire (50th Anniversary Edition)

0

[Refrain]
Go up, Moses, you've been down too long
Go up, Moses, sing your freedom song
Go up, Moses, you've been down too long
Go up, Moses, sing your freedom song

[Verse 1]
Blind man sees that things are wrong
Deaf man hears some funny changes
Boss man hears the people's song
Coats his lies and rearranges

[Refrain]
Go up, Moses, you've been down too long
Go up, Moses, sing your freedom song

[Verse 2]
Ain't no love and ain't no hate
Only dollars got the weight
Lift your head and pass the plate
This time, just don't pay the freight
Am I clear this morning, y'all?
Am I clear this morning, y'all?
Am I clear this morning, y'all?
Am I clear this morning, y'all?
Am I clear this morning, y'all?
Am I clear this morning, y'all?

[Refrain]
Go up, Moses, you been down too long
Go up, Moses, sing your freedom song

[Bridge]
Go up, Moses
You've been down too long
You've been down too long
You've been down too long

[Outro]
My people, let pharaoh go
You don't need him; you don't need his tricks, you don't need his trinkets
Let pharaoh go
Pharaoh doesn't want, but he needs you
My people, let pharaoh go
Without you there is no pharaoh
So all you have to do to let him go is to let him go
Just wake up tomorrow morning and say
"Bye, pharaoh... Honey"
You've been down too long
You've been down too long
You've been down too long
You've been down too long
Am I clear?
Am I clear?
Am I clear?
