Upon A Painted Ocean

(álbum: This Precious Time - 1965)

Come gather 'round those who feel it's time for saving
Help wake up the sleepy and quiet the ravings of cardboard cowards
Who'd have you feel like they do
But look at what they've turned the world into

So come on, come on, let's sail upon a painted ocean
Captain, set the wheels of love a-spinning
All those who are losers soon will be winning a place in the sun
Upon a painted ocean

Ah, let your hair down 'til it rolls on the ground
You won't be needing your mask for where we are bound
And for those who place tradition on pedestals
Will be chained to the docks and be ridiculed

And come on, come on let's sail upon a painted ocean
Captain, set the wheels of love a-spinning
All those who are losers soon will be winning a place in the sun
Upon a painted ocean

And I'll preach to you love until you can't hear hate
A-whispering in the ghettos of our own mistakes
And until enough people become aware
Ah, then we'll stop standing still and start are going somewhere

So come on, come on let's sail upon a painted ocean
Captain, set the wheels of love a-spinning
For all those who are losers soon will be winning a place in the sun
Upon a painted ocean

I said, come on, come on let's sail upon a painted ocean
Captain, set the wheels of love a-spinning
For those who are losers soon will be winning a place in the sun
Upon a painted ocean
