La chanson évoque des thèmes de foi et d'espoir face à l'adversité, en prenant pour référence l'histoire biblique de Moïse et du peuple hébreu. Elle raconte comment, malgré les épreuves, il y a toujours une promesse de libération et de rédemption, symbolisée par la phrase récurrente incitant Marie à ne pas pleurer. Cette figure, associée à la souffrance, est appelée à garder espoir, car les méchants comme l'armée de pharaon seront finalement vaincus. Le contexte se situe dans la tradition spirituelle afro-américaine, où des chansons comme celle-ci prennent racine dans l'expérience de lutte et la quête de liberté. Il s'agit d'une déclaration de foi qui résonne particulièrement avec les épreuves du passé et le désir d'un avenir meilleur.
