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
