Lyrics Sister Ruth - Ace of Cups

Sister Ruth

Sister Ruth, so many years ago
She said where you may be going I will go
Oh my sisters, can we do less today
When the balance hangs
It could go either way
America’s still waters have been stirred
Can the songs of love and freedom
Still be heard
Oh my brothers, have we gone far astray
When the balance hangs
It could go either way
Rockabye that little child
Sleepin' in his mama’s arms
Tokyo to Mexico, from here to Lebanon
Will he have shelter in a storm
A place to play and grow
One human family, you know
This life may be a moment long
Turn around, you find that moment gone
Give yourself to the ones you love
Before they slip away
When the balance hangs
It could go either way
Rockabye that little child
Sleepin' in his mama’s arms
Tokyo to Mexico, from here to Lebanon
Will he have shelter in a storm
A place to play and grow
One human family, you know
We all know
Sister Ruth, so many years ago
She said where you may be going I will go
Oh my sisters, can we do less today
When the balance hangs
It could go either way
Rockabye that little child
Sleepin' in his mama’s arms
Tokyo to Mexico, from here to Lebanon
Every daddy’s little girl and
Every mother’s son
Born into this crazy world
Someone’s precious one
Will they have shelter in a storm
A place to grow and play
When the balance hangs
It could go either way
Either way, it could go either way
Either way, it could go either way
