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
