Prince Far I - Moses, Moses


(Michael Williams)

Song Lyrics Biblical Reference
The nights were dark and lonely
The wind were whistling wild
Without no food to take for her crying child
Yeah

She did not have one penny to buy a slice of bread
And she had sold her wedding gift to keep her young one fed
Friends she had were very poor, the rich man passed them by daily
If someone did not come to help the little one would die
 
Moses, Moses, go down there and tell King Pharaoh to let I people go Exodus 5:1 - And afterward Moses and Aaron went in, and told Pharaoh, Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, Let my people go, that they may hold a feast unto me in the wilderness.

And broke their crown

He died for want
No food to eat
And many children too because they had no meal

The black had gone off for a fight
The nation were at war
In the great generation thou art dwell
She know that their pass would come one day
She know her war would end

The night were dark and lonely
The wind were whistling wild
Without no food to take for her crying child

Moses, Moses go down there and broke the wicked man crown

She know the war would ended
When men will tell the soul to live
And never fight again
