Her mama says she can't go out
Baby girl one day you'll understand
When all of this is in the past
Till then lest you forget to wash your hands

Look for joy sewn in the seam of sorrow
When life keeps on getting you down
There'll be time to sit and smell the roses

When we ain't looking for Moses
Looking for Moses

Some look to God and lean on faith
But he ain't gonna put no food on your plate
Together we can make it through
Cause people's all we got that's me and you, oh no

We gotta try to keep our heads up
Above the water
To stop this tide dragging us down
There'll be time to sit and smell the roses

When we ain't looking for Moses
Oh, look, looking for Moses

Seek out the joy hiding in the seam of sorrow
When life keeps on bringing you down
There'll be time to sit and smell the roses

When we ain't looking for Moses
Looking for Moses
Looking for Moses
Looking for Moses
Gotta keep, keep on

Looking for Moses
Oh, no, no
Looking for Moses
Hey, looking for Moses
Yeah, yeah

Everybody keep on
Everybody keep on
Everybody keep on, keep on, keep on, o-on

Looking for Moses
Looking for Moses
