Rock Me On The Water

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 

Your walls are burning 

And your towers are turning 

I'm going to 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 

Now everyone must have some thought 

That's going to pull them through somehow 

Well the fires are raging hotter and hotter 

But the sisters of the sun are going 

To 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 

Gliding in one place like Jesus in the sky 

We all must do the best we can 

And then hang on to that Gospel plow 

When my life is over, I'm going 

To stand before the Father 

But the sisters of the sun are going 

To 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 

The wind is with me now 

So rock me on the water 

I'll get down to the sea somehow
