Roberta Flack — Go Up Moses

[Chorus] Go up, Moses, you've been down too long Go up, Moses, sing your freedom song Go up, Moses, you've been down too long Go up, Moses, sing your freedom song [Verse 1] Blind man sees that things are wrong Deaf man hears some funny changes Boss man hears the people's song Coats his lies and rearranges [Chorus] Go up, Moses, you've been down too long Go up, Moses, sing your freedom song [Verse 2] Ain't no love and ain't no hate Only dollars got the weight Lift your head and pass the plate This time, just don't pay the freight Am I clear this morning, y'all? Am I clear this morning, y'all? Am I clear this morning, y'all? Am I clear this morning, y'all? Am I clear this morning, y'all? Am I clear this morning, y'all? [Chorus] Go up, Moses, you been down too long Go up, Moses, sing your freedom song [Bridge] Go up, Moses You've been down too long You've been down too long You've been down too long [Outro] My people, let pharaoh go You don't need him; you don't need his tricks, you don't need his trinkets Let pharaoh go Pharaoh doesn't want, but he needs you My people, let pharaoh go Without you there is no pharaoh So all you have to do to let him go is to let him go Just wake up tomorrow morning and say "Bye, pharaoh... Honey" You've been down too long You've been down too long You've been down too long You've been down too long Am I clear? Am I clear? Am I clear?
