Sparrow keep on singin’ your sweet old song It helps me forget what is gone Sun keep on shinin’ It helps me to see what’s ahead 'Cause I’ve been down The path of least resistance I was hopelessly passive But I’ve turned myself around Babe keep on cryin’ It helps me believe that I was so small Now that I'm grown I have forgotten What I had learned so long ago And as my boat rolls out It’ll carry all your doubts On the rock-a-bye sea You’ll see me throwin’ them out On the rock-a-bye sea You’ll see me throwin’ them out River keep on runnin’ Through the mountains and dales below Oh, something inside me says I should follow Where ever you decide to flow And though the path is unclear Let fate take the wheel and steer Towards the rock-a-bye sea That’s where I'm bound to be Look towards the rock-a-bye sea And you’ll see me
