Holy Moses

Asleep in his basket

Encountered a question

But he couldn't ask it

Nor could he answer

In baby sighs and baby cries

At least he heard no doubt

At least he heard no lies

Holy Moses

Holy Moses

Afloat on the river

Swaddled in big ideals

Surrounded by water

Too big for his tiny hands

And tiny heart

But in his eyes the size

Of all he would later part

CHORUS

Somebody told him

“Here's a thing you cannot do”

He did it anyway

Just to prove it was not true

Holy Moses, Holy Moses

Holy Moses

Is it any wonder

That somebody raised upon

Secrets and undertows

Would know all the ways

To reveal what is hidden

And would be the one who conveys

All that's forbidden?

CHORUS X 2

Holy Moses, Holy Moses
