Moses Children |
Tell them tell them |
Tell them the reason why you crying children |
Tell them, tell them tell them the |
Reason why you shed those tears |
(rep.) |
If I never did right or if I |
Ever did wrong, wrong, wrong |
It’s because situation arise |
Where things don’t seem to belong |
Trial and crosses are always |
Before me thorns and prickles |
In-a my way, my way, my way |
With the task-master always |
Behind me, waiting for a chance |
To take my life away |
And my burdens, they’re getting |
Heavy and heavier every day |
My burdens, I’m like one who |
Labours without no pay |
My burdens sweating like a slave to live another day |
My burdens, if I didn’t follow my |
Mind I would be gone astray |
For silver and gold have I none have I none |
Silver and Gold have I none have I none |
Silver, silver, silver and Gold have I none, have I none |
Silver and gold have I none have I none |
So won’t you tell them tell them |
Tell them the reason why you crying children |
Tell them, tell them, tell them the |
Reason why you shed those tears |
(rep.) |
Working round the clock and obeying |
The gong is like the weak who’s |
Got to feed the strong |
I got to carry my load like a |
Child of Israel battering and |
Dragging along, along, along |
Blessed is the man who keepeth |
His faith, and hope for the |
Day of his great Redemption |
To get away from grief and hate |
And into the joys of the sweet liberations |
Slave driver, dry bone crying in the wilderness |
Slave driver, only muscle and blood can stand the test (rep.) |
Moses Children I know was |
In shadows of death the shadows a death |
But Moses Children, they rose from strength to strength. |
(rep.) |
