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
