Oh people
look around you
The signs are everywhere
You've left it for
somebody other than you
To be the one to care
You're lost
inside your houses
There's no time
to find you now
While your walls
are burnin'
And your towers are turnin'
I'm gonna leave you here
And try to get down
To the sea somehow
The road is filled
with homeless souls
Every woman child and man
Who have no idea
where they will go
But they'll help you
if they can
But everyone must
have some thought
That's gonna pull them
through somehow
While the fires
are ragin'
hotter and hotter
But the sisters of the sun
are gonna
rock me on the water now
Rock me on the water
Sister will you soothe
my fevered brow
Rock me on the water
I'll get down
to the sea somehow
Oh people look among you
It's there
your hope must lie
There's a sea bird above you
there gliding in one place
like Jesus in the sky
We all must do
the best we can
And then hang on
to that gospel cloud
When my life is over
When I stand before
the father
But the sisters
of the sun are gonna
rock me on the water now
Rock me on the water
Sister will you soothe
my fevered brow
Hey eh
Rock me on the water
Maybe I'll remember
Maybe I'll remember now
Rock me on the water
The wind is with me now
So rock me on the water
I'll get down
to the sea somehow
