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
