Rock Me On The Water - Jackson Browne

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
