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 

and there's no time to find you now 

well your walls are turning 

your towers are burning 

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 raging hotter and hotter 

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 the sea somehow



oh people 

look among you 

it's there your hope must lie 

there's a seabird above you 

gliding in one place 

like jesus in the sky 

we all must do the best we can 

and then hang on the that gospel plow 

when my life is over 

gonna stand before the father 

and 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 

maybe i'll remember 

maybe i'll remember how



rock me on the water 

i said the wind is with me now 

so rock me on the water 

i'll get down the sea somehow 



rock me on the water 

sister will you soothe my fevered brow 

rock me on the water 

i'll get down the sea somehow
