A two-chord, open D thing. About being ordinary, with extraordinary burdens

Moses painted the inside yellow
Moses painted the outside blue
And he covered his roof with shingles
And he covered his body too

Moses was a little hungry
Moses was a little shy
Moses charmed us from the corner
For another piece of pie

Moses married a fine young woman
And her name was Liza Jane
She knew Moses would be busy
But she wed him just the same

Moses was a man of honor
Moses was a man of truth
Moses lay awake till midnight
With an unsatisfied sweet tooth

Moses led the burning nation
Moses worshiped in the straw
Moses laid the new foundation
Moses anchored what he saw

Moses came from desperate parents
Moses went his desperate way
Moses bargained for salvation
Now his children have to pay

Moses died and went to heaven
To the thunder and the cheers
Moses lost his mind in heaven
And he cried a million years
