She walks past the soldiers out in the street Stays to the side with her eyes on her feet She hardly makes a whisper, just barely a word And this was all the baby heard
Be still Moses, don’t make a sound Be still Moses, don’t make a sound Be still Moses, don’t make a sound Keep your head down
Lying on the bank where the cool water flows A baby’s crying for a mother that he’ll never know She says the pharaoh wants you to die So I’m leaving you here if you’re gonna survive
Be still Moses, don’t make a sound Be still Moses, don’t make a sound Be still Moses, don’t make a sound Keep your head down
You’re gonna be there when he parts the tide And leads all the people to the other side Climb that mountain by the lord’s goodwill But right now boy you better be still
Be still Moses, don’t make a sound Be still Moses, don’t make a sound Be still Moses, don’t make a sound Keep your head down
Be still Moses, don’t make a sound Be still Moses, don’t make a sound Be still Moses, don’t make a sound Keep your head down
Be still Moses, don’t make a sound Be still Moses, don’t make a sound Be still Moses, don’t make a sound Keep your head down Keep your head down Keep your head down
