Barry McGuire - Upon A Painted Ocean

Come gather 'round those who feel it's time for savin'
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-spinnin'
All those who are losers soon will be winnin' a place in the sun
Upon a painted ocean

Ah, let your hair down 'til it rolls on the ground
You won't be needin' 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-spinnin'
All those who are losers soon will be winnin' a place in the sun
Upon a painted ocean

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

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