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 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
While 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
(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, and I 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 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
I'll get down to the sea somehow
Rock me on the water
Rock me now
Rock me on the water
Rock me now
