[A]
[Bm] [A] While [G] your walls are burning [D] and your towers are turning

[C] There's a [G] seabird above [F] you, gliding [C] in one place [D] like Jesus [E] in the sky
[Em]
We [G] all must do [E] the best we can and then [C] hang on to that [B]
[A] gospel cloud
[B] [A] When [D] my [G] life is [D] over, I'm gonna stand before the Father
[Em] But the sisters of the sun are gonna [C] rock me on the water [G] now
Rock me [D]
[C] on the water, [D] sister, [G] will you soothe [D] my [C] fevered brow?
