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
