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
 (6x) fade out
