ROCK ME ON THE WATER Lyrics

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
