Upon A Painted Ocean - Barry McGuire

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

Ah, but look at what they’ve turned the world into

And come on, come on, let’s sail upon a painted ocean

Captain, set your wheel 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 needing your mask for where we are bound

And but those who place tradition on pedestals

Will be chained to the dock and be ridiculed

Oh, come on, come on, let’s sail upon a painted ocean

Captain, set your wheel of love a-spinnin'

For 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

Whisperin' in the ghettos of our own mistakes

And until enough people become aware

Then we’ll stop standin' still and start goin' somewhere

Oh, come on, come on, let’s sail upon a painted ocean

Captain, set your wheel of love a-spinnin'

For those who are losers soon will be winnin' a place in the sun

Upon a painted ocean

Oh, come on, come on, let’s sail upon a painted ocean

Captain, set your wheel of love a-spinnin'

For those who are losers soon will be winnin' a place in the sun

Upon a painted ocean
