### **Verse 1** *Moses is my brother, but I was born to speak* *When he stood before the burning bush, his words came out too weak* *"Take your brother Aaron, he will speak for you"* *So I became the mouthpiece for the God who's always true* ### **Verse 2** *I threw down the staff, it became a snake* *I stretched my hand over Egypt for Jehovah's sake* *But when Moses climbed the mountain, the people grew afraid* *They wanted gods to see, so a golden calf I made* ### **Chorus** *I bear the high priest's burden* *The breastplate and the crown* *I stand before Jehovah* *In robes of white and brown* *I offer up the sacrifices* *For the people's sin* *But I'm just a man like them* *With failures deep within* ### **Verse 3** *My sons, Nadab and Abihu, offered unauthorized fire* *They died before Jehovah, consumed by holy ire* *I couldn't even mourn them, had to serve that very day* *The priesthood has a cost, and I have had to pay* ### **Bridge** *Once a year I enter the Most Holy place* *With blood of bulls and goats, I seek Jehovah's grace* *The incense rises upward, the mercy seat above* *I stand between the people and the God they love* ### **Final Verse** *My staff once budded almonds, proof of God's own choice* *But Miriam and I once questioned Moses' voice* *She was struck with leprosy, I begged for her relief* *Now I know my place, I serve with humble belief* *Eleazar takes my garments, my priesthood passes on* *I die upon Mount Hor, but the priesthood carries on*
