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
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
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
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
