Lyrics
Her Mama says she can't go out
Her mother advises her not to go out.
Baby girl one day you'll understand
The mother reassures the girl that understanding will come with time.
when all of this is in the past,
Reference to a future time when current difficulties will be in the past.
Till then lest you forget to wash your hands
A reminder to maintain hygiene until the challenging times pass.
Look for joy Sewn in the seam of sorrow
Encouragement to find happiness amid difficult circumstances.
When life keeps on Getting you down
Dealing with life's challenges and hardships.
There'll be time to sit and smell the roses
Expressing the importance of taking time to appreciate life's beauty.
when we ain't looking for Moses
Not actively seeking extraordinary solutions (like Moses) in difficult times.
Some look to God and lean on faith
Some turn to God and faith for support.
but He ain't gonna put no food on your plate
God won't directly provide material sustenance.
Together we can make it through
Collaboration and mutual support to overcome challenges.
cause people's all we got that's me and you
Emphasizing the value of human connections (people).
We gotta try to keep our heads up above the water
Encouragement to stay afloat in difficult times.
to stop this tide dragging us down
Resisting the negative forces pulling one down.
There'll be time to sit and smell the roses
Reiteration of the importance of appreciating life's beauty.
when we ain't looking for Moses
Avoiding the search for extraordinary solutions in difficult times.
Seek out the joy hiding in the seam of sorrow
Repeating the advice to find joy amidst sorrow.
When life keeps on bringing you down
Dealing with life's challenges and hardships (repeated theme).
There'll be time to sit and smell the roses
Reiteration of the importance of appreciating life's beauty.
when we ain't looking for Moses
Avoiding the search for extraordinary solutions in difficult times (repeated theme).
