Lyrics Upon A Painted Ocean - 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
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
