Moses
Parody of “Smokin'” performed by Boston and written by Brad Delp & Tom Scholz
(Exodus 2:1-4:17, Acts 7:20-36)

The daughter of Pharaoh saw
A little baby on his own — yeah-eh
Somebody left him in a boat
A basket to take him home — yeah-eh-eh
She went down to bathe
She'll pick you up and take you to raise
Woo! Well, that sounds real nice

Moses! Moses!
Well, look at your life — does it smell like roses?
Moses! Moses!
Now please hold tight, 'cause your time's not close just yet

Down in Egypt, you‘re torn
Everybody's watchin', though
You saw the other Hebrews
Just gettin' abused — lets go, yeah-eh
So ... you thought you’d free those slaves
But that blew up – they chased you away
Woo! You left town in fright!

Moses! Moses!
You took a new life – tending sheep and goatses
Moses! Moses!
New please don't cry — got a long, long process yeah

Ohhhhhhh ...yeah, yeah-eh-yeah-eh-eh-eh!

Everyone thought that
They could close the book on your life
Get your sandals off your feet
'Cause the Lord, He knows there’s more to write, yeah-eh
You're headin' out today
He'll fix you up and pave you the way
Ahhhhh! You just found the light
And now you know
You can’t doubt today
He'll zip you up and make you obey
Woo! So get down to life
Well, all right!

Acts 7:25
Moses thought that his own people would realize that God was using him to rescue them, but they did not.
