The soul is the rock and
The rock will not be moved
Nothing is disputed,
Yet nothing is disproved
And the seeds of the earth
That were planted long ago
Still yield a better harvest
Than the rock was prone to growSay what you like to, do what you do
Everyone's sleeping now two by two
Bats in the roof, cats in the hall
Dust on the stairway, gnats on the wallBig rain comin'
Big rain comin' this way
Rain on the rock
Rain on the rock
Rain on the rockThe sea is the space which
The rock has displaced
The mind is some stranger
That some soul has embraced
And somewhere between,
In a no-man's land of dreams
The heart becomes the soldier
Yet the rock is not redeemedSay what you like to, do what you can
Live like a sheep, die like a lamb
Bats in the roof, cats in the hall
Dust on the stairway, gnats on the wallBig rain comin'
Big rain comin' this way
Rain on the rock
Rain on the rock
Rain on the rockThe soul is the rock and
The rock will always roll
In circles 'round the sun
Doing rings around the pole
When the mind is not sure
What the heart will do next
The rock becomes the master
And the road becomes what's leftLate one night when the moon shone down
We went to the mill on the edge of the town
She wore white, I wore black
The town was sleeping when we got backBig rain comin'
Big rain comin' this way
Rain on the rock
Rain on the rock
Rain on the rockThe soul is the rock and
The rock will not be harmed
Though man must be cheated
Just as women must be charmed
And the mind is the light
For the heart which cannot see
The soul becomes the stranger
But the rock will always beSay what you like to, do what you do
Everyone's sleeping now two by two
Bats in the roof, cats in the hall
Dust on the stairway, gnats on the wallOh.. Big rain comin'
Big rain comin' this way
Rain on the rock
Rain on the rock
Rain on the rockThe soul is the rock and
The rock will not be moved
Nothing is disputed
Yet nothing is disproved
And the seeds of the earth
That were planted long ago
Still yield a better harvest
Than the rock was prone to growAnd the seeds of the earth
That were planted long ago
Still yield a better harvest
Than the rock was prone to grow
